Warm, Refined and Remarkably Musical
The De Cascia Gabrielle with Canadian cedar and all-solid Indian rosewood is a beautifully crafted traditional classical guitar offering an especially refined and musical character.
Cedar is often appreciated for its warmth, richness and immediate response, and the Gabrielle takes advantage of these qualities beautifully. The instrument offers an inviting playing experience, with a balanced voice, pleasing projection and a responsiveness that allows the player to express musical ideas naturally and effortlessly.
The combination of carefully selected solid tonewoods and thoughtful traditional construction makes this Gabrielle particularly appealing to players who want an instrument with genuine musical character while remaining remarkably accessible in price.
It is a guitar designed to be played, enjoyed and developed with over time — equally at home in the hands of a serious student, teacher or experienced guitarist looking for an affordable second instrument with considerably more character than its price might suggest.
Excellent craftsmanship, beautiful tone and projection, and exceptionally easy to play.
A must try!

About the De Cascia Gabrielle Cedar
The cedar Gabrielle is a wonderful example of the philosophy behind the De Cascia line: to create well-built, genuinely musical instruments that allow students and serious players to experience qualities traditionally associated with much more expensive guitars.
The Canadian cedar soundboard gives this version of the Gabrielle its own distinct personality. Compared with spruce, cedar is often chosen for its naturally warm and immediate response, allowing the instrument to produce a satisfying musical voice with relatively little effort from the player. This makes it particularly rewarding for guitarists who appreciate a responsive instrument that feels alive under the fingers.
The all-solid Indian rosewood body complements the cedar beautifully, bringing depth and richness to the overall sound while contributing to the instrument’s projection and sustain. The result is a balanced and expressive classical-guitar voice that can be both intimate and substantial.
The Gabrielle has also received particularly enthusiastic praise from experienced players. One owner of the cedar model was surprised to discover a highly refined and superbly balanced concert-guitar character at this price level, and noted that the instrument continued to develop beautifully with playing.
That kind of response speaks to what makes the Gabrielle so appealing. It is not simply an inexpensive guitar intended to serve as a temporary student instrument. The philosophy behind De Cascia has always been to give developing and serious players access to good tone, projection and playability without the prohibitive cost of many hand-built luthier instruments.
For the player who values warmth, musicality and an easy, natural response, the cedar Gabrielle is particularly compelling. It is the sort of instrument that can encourage more playing simply because it feels good in the hands and gives back so readily.
A beautifully crafted, warm and responsive classical guitar with the musical depth to grow with its player — the Gabrielle Cedar is an exceptional value and a guitar that deserves to be experienced.
