About the luthier
Vincent Humml is a German luthier of the younger generation. After beginning his training as a plucked instrument maker in Markneukirchen, he refined his skills through internships and specialized workshops. In 2019 he achieved the demanding title of Meister in lutherie and subsequently established his workshop in Chemnitz. Humml builds instruments that combine contemporary design with traditional tonal values. His doubletop guitars in particular demonstrate his ability to unite projection and power with refinement and elegance of tone. Careful selection of tonewoods, precision craftsmanship, and tasteful aesthetics characterize his work, which is further distinguished by the use of high-quality components such as Scheller tuners and French polish finishes.About the guitar
This guitar, completed in 2025 and numbered 63, is a doubletop instrument with a spruce top and Madagascar rosewood back and sides, finished with French polish. At 1675 grams it retains a moderate weight while offering the projection and dynamic range characteristic of Humml’s doubletop design. The scale length of 640 mm, paired with a 52 mm nut, makes the guitar especially comfortable for players seeking shorter scale ergonomics without sacrificing string spacing. The tonal response is highly balanced: the trebles are smooth and round with clarity and sustain, the basses are powerful and forward, and the midrange is full, ensuring evenness across the registers. The guitar has excellent sensitivity and responds readily to subtle variations of attack, providing both a wide dynamic range and precise tonal color. The shorter scale enhances comfort and reduces left-hand fatigue, making it particularly suitable for long playing sessions while maintaining projection suited for the concert stage. With its carefully voiced spruce doubletop, premium Madagascar rosewood body, and refined playability, this guitar reflects Humml’s modern approach to lutherie while preserving the tonal depth that concert players value. It is fitted with Klaus Scheller tuners and supplied in a Hiscox Pro II case.
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.
