Dreadnought + Breedlove Concert = The Concerto
When most acoustic guitar companies want a dreadnought's power, articulation, and size, they build a dreadnought. And why wouldn't they?! It is the most well-known and used acoustic guitar design in history.
But, as we've said before, just because a design works doesn't mean we can't improve it. Guided by that principle, we set about marrying the dreadnought's assertive character with the increased detailed resonance of our time-tested Concert bodies. The Concerto body shape is the culmination of that vision.
Larger than a Concert, the Concerto moves significantly more air, resulting in a louder sound; a clear, substantial bass response; and trebles that seem to leap off the fretboard. All the while, the shape also delivers on its promise of rich harmonic elegance and detailed note separation. And, because the Concerto also inherited many of the Concert's lines, it's an ergonomic dream that leaves other large-bodied acoustic guitars behind.
