Hermann Hauser ® I - Vienna Modell 1928

Hermann Hauser ® I - Vienna Modell 1928

Overview

Hermann Hauser ® I as a German luthier, holds a leading position among luthiers worldwide. He took over the instrument workshop of his father while Josef Hauser ® was still managing the music publishing house. Hermann Hauser ® I specialised in making lutes and guitars but also remained true to the construction of zithers. In the context of the Guitaristic Movement in Bavaria, Hermann Hauser ® I built a large number of different guitars; in particular the Vienna models and the Munich models in all kinds of forms, but all in absolute perfection. The Terz, Prim and the very rare Quintbass guitars of Hermann Hauser ® I are of highest quality. Even today, the sound of those instruments is still unsurpassed. Based on his special virtuosity, Hermann Hauser ® I developed technical, patented innovations in the area of construction of the guitar’s tops and body-neck connections. The Spanish virtuosi Miguel Llobet and Andres Segovia became attentive to Hermann Hauser ® I’s art of making guitars at the beginning of the 20th century.

This fantastic 1928 guitar is a wonderful example of Hermann Hauser ® I’s excellence in Viennese guitar making. It is in great condition and very attractive for collectors as well as for active players. A hand full of very well repaired cracks are to be reported and small playing marks are visible. Back and sides are free of crack and display a gorgeous, flamed maple.

This superb romantic guitar has a big voice. The clarity of sound, impressive power, and transparency in the phrasing make it a truly charismatic and fascinating instrument. Whether for a collector, studio recording, concerts on period instruments, or simply to play at home, this charming and complex instrument will captivate the musician.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
