Heikki Rousu - 2019 11-String
Overview
Overview
This beautiful Swedish guitar was built by the luthier Heikki Rousu. He has been building guitars since 1990 and has crafted more than 300 instruments by now. This special instrument is an eleven-string guitar, also known as alto guitar or Bolin guitar. This extended-range classical guitar was developed by the Swedish luthier Georg Bolin in the 1960s and has been largely popularized by guitarists Per-Olof Johnson and Göran Söllscher.
This 2019 model has an astounding overtone-rich sound. It is conceived to play lute music with guitar technique and offers thereby exciting new possibilities for guitarists and through the large tonal range also a completely new sound world. Guitarists who seek an authentic approach to pieces by J. S. Bach and S. L. Weiss, for example, will certainly enjoy the almost unlimited possibilities of this hybrid guitar. It is tuned g d a f c G F Eb D C B, a third higher than the traditional 6 strings guitar, and offers a stunningly rich and resonant sound.

Classical Guitars
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 -
