Parato Collection Around the world
Made in Tuscany. Played everywhere.
Bacci Leonardo Parato baritone landing preview — hero, story, sound, players, the six finishes with galleries, full specifications, FAQ and enquiry form.
A 1970s Italian dream, handbuilt in Tuscany. The baritone with two outputs, guitar and bass, and six art-inspired finishes.
Warm, eclectic tones that recall lived-in spaces. Expressive and powerful — with a comfort both nostalgic and contemporary.
Bruno Bacci doesn't draw a shape and fill it with sound. He starts from the sound he can already hear, then builds the instrument around it — applying physics, metallurgy and the violin-making craft of Cremona. He even chooses each piece of wood by feel, moving through a sequence that looks like a dance, listening for its voice before the first cut.
A factory ≠ a luthier.Commission yours with Bruno
Every Parato is made to order — the finish is the look, but pickup voice, scale and fingerboard are all chosen by you.
No batteries, simple and reliable. An organic, vintage tone that responds to every nuance of your right hand.
Two independent outputs: the classic Bacci guitar voice, plus the Dreamsongs Modern bass pickup on its own volume and jack. Run a guitar amp and a bass amp at once — a true wall of sound.
Pickup voice, scale (28" / 30") and fingerboard are yours to choose — configure above. Every Leonardo ships with two outputs — guitar and bass.
Two voices, two feels — we build the one that fits your hands and your music.
More string tension, more definition and authority in the low end. Notes tighten, the attack firms up and tuning holds under heavy picking — the scale that anchors the arrangement instead of floating above it.
Lower tension and easy reach beyond the 12th fret. Built for phrasing, lead lines and expressive playing while still dropping below standard-guitar range — ideal for a lighter touch and smaller hands.
One of the most-followed guitar voices online — Paul Davids reaches 3.6 million YouTube subscribers with his lessons, tone breakdowns and cinematic guitar films, plus best-selling guitar courses. And when he wants to go deeper, he reaches for the Parato Orange Circles baritone — the finish that became a Bacci icon.
Across YouTube and Instagram, Paul's lessons reach over 4 million players — and counting.
One of the most-watched riff creators online — @zeppelinbarnatra turns iconic riffs and originals into reels seen by millions. He reaches for the Parato White Slalom, the Dynasonic-voiced baritone. The punchline is in the comments: half the viewers spent the whole reel wondering who was playing the bass line — then came the “ooohhh” moment. There is no bassist. Just Nathaniel, one baritone, two outputs.
The names around his playing:
Across Instagram and TikTok, Nathaniel’s riffs reach over half a million followers.
When I play it, I don't really miss the bass player.— Matteo Mancuso · on the Bacci baritone
Grammy winners. Session legends. Festival headliners. Every one of them could reach for anything on earth — and they reach for an instrument made entirely by hand, start to finish, by a single luthier: Bruno Bacci, in Tuscany.
Michael League — founder of the Grammy-winning Snarky Puppy — takes Bacci onto the world's biggest stages. Live at North Sea Jazz, that low end reached over a million people.
The players who reach for one.
When your Parato is ready — standard or custom — you can choose to come and collect it yourself in Tuscany. The Bacci Experience: a few days with Bruno putting the final touches to your baritone by hand in the workshop, a hosted Tuscan dinner with local wine, and a private guide through Florence, Lucca, Pisa and the villages in between. Part instrument, part pilgrimage.
