This 2011 Batista Tenor Violão is a finely crafted, handcrafted Brazilian instrument built in the traditional tenor guitar format. Featuring a solid spruce top and maple back and sides, it delivers a warm, articulate tone with excellent projection and clarity. With a 4-string setup and a slightly shorter scale length, it’s ideal for players exploring alternate tunings, jazz comping, or Brazilian choro and samba styles. The build quality reflects Batista’s attention to detail, with tasteful appointments and a comfortable neck profile that invites expressive playing. A rare and elegant instrument with rich tonal character. It comes with the original hardshell case.
