19世紀(jì)中葉，現(xiàn)代吉他制作之父安東尼奧・de・托雷斯（Antonio de Torres，1817-1892）給予吉他全新的定義。他是當(dāng)時起決定性作用的改革者，把各種各樣的吉他元素融入到新的設(shè)計(jì)當(dāng)中，塑造了此后吉他制作者的作品標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，甚至促使吉他成為世界音樂舞臺及演奏會的一種常用樂器。如果Torres知道他的作品至今仍然占據(jù)著如此舉足輕重的地位，他定會倍感吃驚。如今，大多數(shù)古典吉他與當(dāng)年Torres的制造模式有著驚人的相似之處，即使是最有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的制造者也以150年前Torres依靠直覺優(yōu)化的設(shè)計(jì)為模版。甚至無論那些吉他演奏者們彈奏的是哪個牌子的吉他，他們也把功勞歸于Torres。正是因?yàn)門orres的突破性設(shè)計(jì)，才使得吉他能夠成為演奏會中的一種樂器，使新一代的演奏家及作曲家可以開拓樂曲中新的力量、活力、色彩及表達(dá)方式。在20世紀(jì)，塞戈維亞（Andrés Segovia）把古典吉他推向了世界演奏舞臺的聚光燈里，演奏基于Torres傳統(tǒng)設(shè)計(jì)基礎(chǔ)上的吉他，如Manuel Ramirez 及隨后的Herman Hauser。
Antonio de Torres (short scale length: 604 mm) - Plan for a Small Guitar
Torres is rightly seen as the founder of the modern Spanish classical guitar, and many experienced luthiers today still continue to make their guitars closely following the designs established by Torres in about 1860.
Having made a guitar according to the larger dimensions of the Torres Plan Number 1, many guitar makers find it interesting to build a small guitar, in contrast to a full-size guitar. This is an interesting design to follow - the small guitar has a surprisingly vibrant and penetrating sound, especially in the treble range. The smaller volume of air contained inside the soundbox means that the bass range is less full, but provided a well-balanced instrument is constructed, the result is usually very pleasing.
