Hermann Hauser III



SOLD OUT
[Profile]
The finest guitar brand in Germany in the 20th century, and the fourth generation continues to produce guitars in this tradition. It is well known that Hermann Hauser I improved his own guitars based on Miguel Llobet's Torres and Segovia's Manuel Ramirez, and produced the famous model later known as the 'Segovia Model. His achievement was the biggest event in the history of guitar making after Torres's reform of the guitar, and had a great impact on both playing and making guitars in the following years. It has been passed down to the second and third generations, each of whom continues to make guitars with their own distinctive character while maintaining the brand's unique tone and incredible precision.
The Hauser I guitars are now as expensive as Torres guitars, and the 2nd generation guitars also fetch high prices in the vintage guitar market. The 3rd generation continues to refine his craftsmanship and continues to work vigorously with his eldest daughter, Kathrin Hauser.

[Description]
This is a 'Segovia' model made by Hermann Hauser III (1958-), who has a workshop in Reisbach, Germany, and is made of maple back and sides. The workshop of Hermann Hauser III has an abundance of top-quality wood that has been in stock since the time of Hermann Hauser I. The quality of the wood is highly regarded even by experts. This model is a noble model made by selecting such wood from the Hauser's treasured collection.
The sound is pure, deep and colorful with German hardness and moderate elasticity. The separation of each string and the clarity of the chords are unparalleled, and the overall balance is superb. The elegant taste peculiar to maple is wonderful, and we recommend this model especially for those who enjoy Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical music.
The neck and body are rather compact, and the strings are moderately tensioned, making it easy to play for Japanese players. The original lacquer is in good condition with almost no scratches. The string height has been adjusted for easy playing.
