Bernhard Kresse - 2017 Stauffer Model

Bernhard Kresse - 2017 Stauffer Model

Overview

Bernhard Kresse is one of the most sought-after luthiers worldwide in terms of 19th century guitar copies. He restored an impressive number of period guitars throughout his career and gathered an extensive knowledge on these instruments and many of his guitars were recorded by international guitarists in the past years.
This 2017 Stauffer Model built by Bernhard Kresse is an extremely fine concert instrument. It has a wonderful clear sound and a typical Stauffer timbre. This guitar is very responsive and has an unbelievable projection for such a little instrument. It is very comfortable as the neck is adjustable and the fingerboard slightly elevated (on the model of Stauffer’s patent). The Pegheds™ tuning pegs make tuning very easy and stable. It is therefore an ideal concert guitar for romantic repertoire aficionados. A suitable hard-shell case is included.

  • 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.
