For many years, he has focused on the concert guitar as a living working instrument, refining his approach through close exchange with professional players and their practical needs on stage and in the studio. While his name is especially associated with double top guitars, his work as a whole is guided by a sustained interest in tonal development, clarity, and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eHe works together with his wife, Solveig Kirschner, a guitar maker and musicologist whose engagement with historical instruments continues to inform their workshop culture. This combination of practical craftsmanship, research, and musical understanding gives Kirschner’s instruments a distinctive sense of purpose. His guitars are valued not only for their tonal strength and ease of playing, but also for their restraint, precision, and consistency of build.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis Andreas Kirschner from 2016 is a traditionally built solid top concert guitar with a remarkably open and articulate voice. Although Kirschner is best known today for his double top instruments, this guitar shows how convincingly his tonal ideas translate into a more classical construction. The sound is clear, bright, and refreshingly direct, with strong separation between voices and an airy quality that gives the instrument presence without hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe spruce top and Indian rosewood body produce a sound that remains balanced across the register, with a very good sustain and a pleasing sense of transparency in chordal writing as well as single line playing. It offers projection and immediacy, yet never loses control. Particularly striking is the way notes retain their individuality in every position on the fingerboard, giving the player a wide range of color without sacrificing coherence.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe response is quick, the attack clean, and the overall playing experience notably comfortable. Subtle construction details such as the slightly elevated fingerboard support this ease of handling, while the high quality Klaus Scheller tuners add further refinement to the instrument. This is a guitar that combines clarity, sustain, and flexibility in a way that feels both sophisticated and musically generous.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe guitar is in excellent condition with no damage or repairs.

Solveig Kirschner is both a luthier and a musicologist, and her engagement with historical instruments continues to inform her traditional approach to construction. Andreas Kirschner has been building concert guitars for more than two decades and is especially known for his double top instruments, where consistency, tonal refinement, and responsiveness are central concerns. Together, their workshop is associated with clean craftsmanship, a clear aesthetic, and a strong focus on the musical behaviour of the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2016 Solveig and Andreas Kirschner Studio model presents the workshop’s sound oriented approach in a more accessible concert instrument. Built with a cedar top and Indian rosewood back and sides, it has a visually restrained and elegant character, with the French polished finish giving the surfaces a refined clarity. The elevated fingerboard adds a modern practical feature without disturbing the instrument’s clean appearance, supporting comfortable access in the upper register.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMusically, this Studio model is striking for the length of its sound. Notes do not simply speak with power; they remain present, carrying with a long, singing sustain that gives melodic lines unusual continuity. At the same time, the guitar avoids the loss of definition that can sometimes accompany a powerful voice. Its registers remain clearly separated, the upper positions retain clarity, and harmonics respond freely and audibly. Across different positions, the sound feels even and reliable, with no obvious weak area interrupting the musical line. The result is a Kirschner Studio with a generous, resonant voice, strong projection, and the controlled separation needed for articulate playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis guitar is in excellent and original condition.
