Torrefaction is a process of roasting the wood, to help with stability, and to provide a sweeter, warmer tone. Usually this process is featured on woods that are assigned to high end instruments so it's fantastic to see it on an affordable model like the 114ce. The top of the instrument also features a C class bracing provides a focused tone which accentuates the bass frequencies. The layered sapele back and sides provide a classic balanced midrange voice too and help with the stability of the instrument. The 114ce can feature maple or mahogany on the neck and the slender Taylor neck profile keeps a relaxed fretting hand making it effortless for many playing styles.

Dreadnoughts are typically used for strummed rhythms whilst the Grand Concert is a successful fingerstyle design. Bob wanted a single design that was equally good at both without having to compromise either and so created the Grand Auditorium to be a combination of the two. Slightly smaller than a Dreadnought, the Grand Auditorium never the less proves to be a formidable all-rounder.
