{"product_id":"armin-hanika-1a-dtl","title":"Armin Hanika - 1a DTL","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAt HANIKA, craftsmanship is regarded as tailor-made precision and sound as art. The manufacture in Baiersdorf traces its roots to Helmut Hanika, who founded the SOLI company in 1953 after learning violin making through the family workshop tradition of his grandfather, Anton Mayer. As demand changed, Helmut Hanika moved from folk guitar production toward high-quality classical guitars, establishing the name Hanika as a respected German reference for refined hand-built instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSince 1993, the company has been led by Armin Hanika, the second generation of the family. Under his direction, HANIKA continues to combine experienced handcraft, carefully selected materials, and modern construction concepts across a wide range of classical guitars, from the Studio Line to the specially made instruments of the Professional Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Hanika 1a DTL belongs to the Meisterklasse and represents one of the most refined expressions of Hanika’s modern concert guitar concept. Its cedar soundboard combines double-top and lattice construction in a domed sandwich design, giving the instrument an efficient, highly responsive voice with strong dynamic range and confident carrying power. Back and sides made from selected African blackwood from Mozambique add a dense, substantial tonal foundation and a visually elegant presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMusically, the 1a DTL is designed for breadth, clarity, and projection. The cedar-based double-top lattice concept gives the response warmth and immediacy, while the structure of the soundboard supports separation, tonal colour, and sustained energy across the registers. The result is a concert guitar that can move from refined nuance to larger musical gestures with control, depth, and a clear sense of direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe elevated fingerboard and optimized heel make access above the 12th fret easier and support a more comfortable left hand position in the upper register. Further details such as the snakewood-reinforced cedro neck, ziricote fingerboard, shellac-polished soundboard, high-gloss body finish, triple pierced head design, and Scheller tuning machines reflect the model’s carefully resolved balance of playability, visual refinement, and professional function. It comes with a BAM luxury case.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photos of this guitar are general product images that may differ from the actual instrument.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54474950574413,"sku":"KS17970","price":10490.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/Armin-Hanika-1a-Doubletop-Lattice-15.jpg?v=1763028791","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.de\/products\/armin-hanika-1a-dtl","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
