Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Redwood and Indian rosewood give this Natural-finished Grand Auditorium the source-described combination of warmth, projection, deep lows and bright highs. Its balanced, responsive design is positioned for fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking, with V-Class bracing supporting volume, sustain and intonation. The Venetian cutaway reaches higher registers. ES2 electronics capture the acoustic sound through a behind-the-saddle transducer, with active EQ and phase switching for amplified setups; TaylorSense monitors humidity, temperature and potential impacts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Fingerpicking, strumming and flatpicking where a balanced, responsive Grand Auditorium is wanted.

- Players who need the upper-register access provided by the Venetian cutaway.
