[Profile]
Born in England in 1941, he studied harpsichord making under Robert Goble. He is known as an intelligent craftsman with a deep knowledge of other instruments and a broad familiarity with European traditions.
He began working as a craftsman in the workshop of David Jose Rubio in 1969, where he was allowed to use the PF stamp as head craftsman (Rubio guitars with the PF stamp are still highly valued by enthusiasts in the second-hand market).
In 1975, he established his own workshop and started making guitars, initially following Rubio's style of construction, but he began to explore the relationship between acoustics and structure from a scientific point of view, and started making guitars with his own unique arrangement of bars. As a result, his guitars are highly refined in tone and acoustics, and have a unique sound with a balanced tone not found in conventional guitars. His guitars were highly acclaimed by many professional guitarists who were particular about acoustic balance, and became one of the best-selling brands in the world at the end of the 20th century.
[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of No. 968, an alto guitar made by Paul Fischer in 1998. This guitar seems to be a condensed version of the specifications of his flagship 'Concervatoire' and 'Virtuoso' models, and is an extremely well-rounded piece.
There are two cracks on the sound board, but they have been repaired properly (glued and reinforced with a plate from the inside), so there will be no problem for future use.
The frets are in good condition with almost no wear. Comes with its own hard case.
