Overview
Overview
Having apprenticed under the esteemed Gerhard Oldiges, Stefan Nitschke has over the past 15 years carved a niche for himself in the world of lutherie, building guitars that are not just instruments, but art forms. His works resonate with the influence of the great masters of the 19th and 20th centuries — figures like Antonio de Torres, Francisco Simplicio, and Santos Hernandez. The echoes of their genius can be discerned in the delicate sounds of Nitschke’s guitars and the sheer artistry of his craftsmanship.
The 2024 Stefan Nitschke “La Morena” guitar exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship and outstanding tonal qualities. Crafted with CITES-certified Rio rosewood, it showcases a stunning color spectrum from deep chocolate to vibrant orange, accentuated by a distinctive feather-like pattern on the back. One of its standout features is the D main resonance, producing deep, airy basses that are both rich and resonant. The trebles, characterized by excellent sustain and warmth, provide a brilliant clarity that projects effortlessly in a concert setting. This guitar masterfully captures the essence of early 20th-century guitar making, offering a harmonious blend of tradition and modern innovation.
