About the luthier
Daniel Friederich, born on January 16, 1932, made an indelible mark on the world of classical guitar lutherie, leaving behind a magnificent legacy after his passing in 2020. Initially unable to afford a guitar, Friederich turned to craftsmanship, building his first instrument, a Simplicio replica, at the age of 23. Under the guidance of his teacher and skilled luthier Christian Aubin, he gained both tools and confidence. Friederich’s work took a pivotal turn after his fifteenth guitar when he met the esteemed luthier Robert Bouchet, whose mentorship profoundly influenced his style. Bouchet’s ideas became a foundational inspiration that Friederich continued to develop throughout his career, merging tradition with innovation. Over the decades, Friederich became one of the world’s most respected luthiers, his reputation enduring even after he stopped creating guitars in 2015, having sold his tools. Today, he is celebrated as one of the most admired guitar makers in history.About the guitar
The “Concert Model” No. 158, crafted in 1965 by the esteemed luthier Daniel Friederich, holds a significant place in the realm of classical guitars, marking the inception of his celebrated career. Inspired by the great Antonio de Torres, this guitar features a meticulously crafted spruce soundboard with a modified seven-fan bracing system—reflecting the third evolution of Friederich’s bracing design. This innovative construction yields a sound that is both rich and resonant, with vibrant depth and clarity. The trebles stand out for their pristine clarity and complex overtones, reminiscent of a bell’s chime, enhanced by an exceptional sustain that adds to the instrument’s enchanting tonal palette. The basses provide a warm, robust foundation, creating a well-rounded and harmoniously balanced sound profile. Despite its age, the guitar remains in good condition, with three expertly repaired (by Daniel Friederich himself) cracks on the lower bout and one next to the treble-side fingerboard, which do not diminish its value or its historical significance as a rare and treasured example of Friederich’s early craftsmanship. Moreover, the finish of this guitar has been renewed which makes the guitar looks very fresh.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.

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.Look all products of the collection -
