About the luthier
Michael Cadiz is a Seattle, Washington, native, who moved his workshop to Graz, Austria, in 2016. He built his first guitar at the age of 15. He feels profoundly grateful for Robert Ruck, who invited him to stay for a while in his workshop to share his philosophy and approach to guitar building and from whom he learned a lot. Furthermore, he also received great support from the Seattle builders Rick Davis and Greg Oxrieder. In 2016, he moved his workshop to Graz, Austria, where he has successfully built guitars ever since.About the guitar
The 2025 Michel Cadiz 64 cm guitar is a masterfully built instrument that offers a harmonious fusion of historical inspiration and modern performance. As part of his Modern Concert model, this guitar reflects Cadiz’s vision of blending the charm of late-19th-century Spanish guitars with the demands of contemporary players. Constructed using traditional hide glue and a seven-fan bracing system with minimal cross struts, the guitar strikes a perfect balance between tradition and innovation. Tonally, it leans toward a mid-20th-century sound, characterized by excellent clarity, balance, dynamic range, and timbral variety, while maintaining a traditional voice. Michel Cadiz places a strong emphasis on achieving a clear and even frequency response, ensuring the sound carries effectively in large halls without being overpowered by midrange heaviness. Though the construction is overall slightly stiffer, the guitar maintains a low body resonance, which allows for a blooming bass, even sustain, and greater headroom across the tonal spectrum. The cedar soundboard contributes to warm, round trebles with excellent sustain, while the 64 cm scale combined with a finely shaped neck makes for exceptional playability. As a guitarist himself, Michel Cadiz understands the nuanced needs of players, and this instrument clearly reflects his commitment to playability, responsiveness, and expressive freedom. It is a guitar that performs equally well in intimate settings and large concert halls—a true modern concert guitar rooted in tradition.
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 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 -
