Something NEW!!! Rivolta Guitars have arrived at Colemans Music and we are super excited! In this video we check out a few of the different models in the range including the Combinata XVII, the Mondata VIII and the Mondata Baritone!
Born from a partnership between legendary guitar luthier Dennis Fano (Fano & Novo) and Eastwood Guitars, Rivolta are the newest and one of the most exciting guitar brands to arrive at Colemans Music.
Pennsylvania native, Fano got his start in the Music Industry repairing guitars at Matt Umanov Guitars in New York City’s Greenwich Village, where he worked until 2001, when he decided to pursue guitar building full-time.
In his first venture; “Fano Guitars” in Pennsylvania, he repaired and modified bass guitars. with one of the first models he modified, his Fender Jazz Bass and then a Harmony bass. Since those days Dennis Fano has acquired an almost renown reputation for building boutique guitars. His flagship model was the Alt de Facto guitar line-up.
In 2009 Dennis sold Fano Guitars to PBG (Premier Builders Guild). He then went on to become an employee of that company, working on prototypes and one-offs. He worked with PBG until 2014 when he left and started Novo Guitars.
This time Dennis moved his workshop from Pennsylvania to Nashville, Tennessee. He hired Matthew Timmons, formerly of Lollar pickups as the shop’s general manager.After successfully establishing the Novo brand, he set his sights on a more affordable guitar line and thus Rivolta was conceived under a partnership with Mike Robinson of Eastwood Guitars.
