The Canela is a truly special instrument. The sinker redwood gives it an immediate, aged character, and the Limba back adds a richness you don't always find. It's ideal for discerning players who demand both exceptional tone and a refined playing experience—think fingerstyle players or those needing a fantastic amplified acoustic for studio work.
