Jean Marquet - 2021

Jean Marquet - 2021

Overview

Jean Marquet is a young and aspiring guitar maker from Belgium whose enthusiasm for the art of guitar making and his craftsmanship are promising prerequisites for first-class guitars. He received his professional training at the CMB in Puurs, Belgium (Center for musical instrument building), a school with a great reputation, from which many first-class luthiers have emerged.

This model by Jean Marquet is based on a German guitar from 1937. A particularly striking detail is the hazel spruce top, which displays beautiful grain and accentuates the overall classy and elegant design. This "Belgian beauty" also has a lot to offer in terms of sound. This traditionally built instrument is comparatively lightweight and as a guitarist, one gets very direct feedback from the entire body when playing. It is a classical guitar with great sound volume, impressive bass, crystal clear trebles, and an abundance of overtones that give the guitar a full-bodied and interesting sound character. It is a great pleasure to play this guitar, not only because of its great playability but also because it rewards the player with many timbres and inspiring musical moments.

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.
