His guitars are of great finesse with an aesthetic that combines the Spanish tradition and the modernity for which German luthiers are universally recognized. His guitars are played by many brilliant teachers, soloists, and students and have already proven themselves in major European concert halls. His craftsmanship and the way Adrian Heinzelmann designs his soundboards are unique. Many narrow parallel trenches are carved inside the cedar soundboard to optimize its weight and flexibility. Combined with lightweight lattice bracing, this technique gives an instrument of great sensitivity and impressive volume. Playing Adrian Heinzelmann’s guitar gives confidence and pushes the guitarist beyond his limits.

The 2023 Adrian Heinzelmann guitar embodies the quintessential features of a superior classical guitar, accentuated with a dash of contemporary sophistication. A remarkable synthesis of superior voice separation, extensive sustain, and balanced polyphonic sound, this instrument possesses an intriguing tonal complexity that is bold and delicate.

The 2023 model demonstrates an admirable alignment of quality and cost-effectiveness, making it an ideal choice for guitarists of diverse skill levels. The workmanship reflects Heinzelmann's expansive knowledge and proficiency in guitar building, as every aspect of this instrument has been carefully crafted to offer a remarkable playing experience.

Adrian Heinzelmann – 2023 Classical Guitar review
GUITAR COMPARSION - The Weekly Guitar Meeting #57 : Heinzelmann, Hill, Vogl, Planchon, T'Kindt

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
