THE CADENZA

A SPECIAL LUTHIER BUILT GUITAR FOR THOSE SEEKING SUPERB SOUND 
AND PLAYABILITY ON A BUDGET.




THE VERY BEGINNING

Based in the U.K and established in 2008, Stephen Eden is a skilled and highly
regarded luthier now working from his home in Bexhill-on-Sea. Stephen explains
here the very beginning.

"The conceptual idea for what would become the Cadenza came from a discussion
with an apprentice I had at the time in 2014. At his college, they ran a
competition where 3 of them were tasked to build a guitar in 24 hours. I
wondered how quickly I could build a guitar using my now extensive building
knowledge. The resulting guitar was very exciting and thought provoking. I built
this guitar to the same structural design as my standard concert model. I knew I
had the ability to utilize my building capabilities to make a great sounding
guitar of simple aesthetic. I love to build and strive to spend maximum time in
the workshop. At the time I had my guitars stocked with Miles Roberts of Kent
Guitar Classics and so I presented him with the guitar. Miles's opinion was
something I valued and respected and I hoped he would embrace the possibilities
the guitar represented. Miles was impressed."

CREATING THE CADENZA

Miles Roberts established Kent Guitar Classics in 2001 which traded until his
retirement at the end of 2020. Miles's guitar knowledge and highly-regarded
reputation made Kent Guitar Classics the ideal dealership through which to
market the Cadenza guitars. The concept of the guitar proposed by Stephen was
just what Miles had been looking for - an artisan hand-built guitar of concert
quality and projection at a price that was affordable for talented, young
players who needed a refined instrument but were unable to afford more expensive
instruments. Miles and Stephen collaborated together on developing the
appearance and sound quality resulting in the Cadenza that has proved to be so
popular with guitarists of all ages around the world including professional
players such as Mark Eden and Gaelle Solal.

"These are the very opposite of so many guitars on the market that seem to be
more about what they look like than what they sound like. These Cadenza guitars
on the other hand, have refined trebles that are crisp, clear and sustaining,
with balanced middle range, pleasing depth of bass and facilitate a wide variety
of tone colour. This is achieved by using the very highest quality timbers,
hand-crafted and shellac-polished with the skill and experience of Stephen Eden.
Nearly all the guitars in the market at 50% higher price than the Cadenza model,
are factory-made or in workshops where not made by an individual artisan. The
competitive price of these genuinely hand-made instruments is achieved by
unusually efficient workshop practices, some well-judged cosmetic simplification
and efficient material purchasing.
According to all that have played them, they have unbeatable sound quality at
their price ... which is the whole idea!" 

~ Miles Roberts


TODAY

Sabrina Holt now handles all Cadenza enquiries and orders since January 2021.
Having been with Stephen since the start of his career, she continues the
never-ending process of absorbing knowledge of this guitar-making business.
Stephen has also more recently been teaching Sabrina how to build with him. When
Kent Guitar Classics handled the exhibiting, enquiries, orders and stock,
Stephen was able to totally focus on construction, resulting in high efficiency
and a very competitive selling price. This will continue with Sabrina taking
over the Kent Guitar Classics role.

"I will provide the same high level of integrity, care and attention to every
enquiry and order as Miles did at Kent Guitar Classics. He has been an exemplary
guiding hand, not only in the establishment of the Cadenza but the handover
following his retirement.
To mark the dawn of this new marketing era Stephen and I have refreshed the
Cadenza head shape and rosette design; the construction and quality otherwise
remains unchanged. The rosette is much in keeping with other models within
Stephen's range such as the Solea budget flamenco.
One of the things that has always impressed me about the Cadenza, like all of
Stephen's models, is the consistency in build and sound quality. The Cadenza is
a very well balanced guitar, immersing the player in it's sound and offers
exceptional response and sustain even above the 12th fret.
If you choose to make the Cadenza your first or next exciting guitar purchase I
am here for you."
