Overview

About the luthier

Tobias Braun was born in Holzminden, Germany, in 1960. Shortly after, his family relocated to Perchtoldsdorf near Vienna, Austria. In 1983, he built his first concert guitar, marking the beginning of his journey as a luthier. A year later, he completed his first guitar-making course under the guidance of the renowned José Romanillos. This was followed by a second course in 1988 and a third in 1989, the same year Tobias earned his master’s certificate in Vienna. With a deep commitment to the traditional Spanish guitar-building school, Tobias Braun has dedicated much of his craft to creating instruments inspired by famous masters such as Santos Hernandez and Manuel Ramirez.

About the guitar

The Tobias Braun Romanillos model with birdseye maple back and sides has seen tremendous demand lately—and for good reason. This guitar not only captures the soul of a Romanillos instrument but also showcases Tobias Braun’s masterful interpretation of what a great concert guitar should be.

The basses are deep and resonant, while the trebles are silky and smooth, offering a vast range of tonal colors to explore. It’s an instrument that draws the player in, inviting musical discovery. Thanks to its highly responsive character, the guitar is remarkably easy to play. As expected from Tobias Braun, the spruce top is of the finest quality—another hallmark of this exceptional instrument.

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.
