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!"
