Frequently Asked Questions About Classical Guitars
How do I choose the right classical guitar for my level?
Choosing the right classical guitar depends on your playing level, musical goals, and budget. Beginners benefit from studio-model guitars from renowned workshops, while advanced players and professionals often choose a handmade master guitar. We are happy to advise you personally and can send detailed sound samples and videos on request.
What is the difference between a master guitar and a studio guitar?
Master guitars are built entirely by hand in the workshop of a single luthier, using only high-quality, well-aged tonewoods. Studio guitars are made in small series, often under the supervision of the master luthier, and offer excellent value for students and ambitious amateur players.
Can I try a classical guitar at home for 14 days?
Yes — every guitar you purchase from us comes with a 14-day home approval period. This complimentary trial applies worldwide to all orders, whether you are in Germany, Europe, the USA, Asia or anywhere else. We ship your instrument fully insured in a high-quality case so you can play it under your own acoustic conditions. If the guitar is not the right one for you, simply send it back and receive a full refund of the purchase price.
Can I try a classical guitar before purchasing?
Absolutely. You are warmly invited to visit our showroom in Karlsruhe, Germany, and test the instruments at your leisure. We are happy to schedule a personal appointment. If a visit is not possible, we send detailed videos and sound samples, and offer extensive consultation by phone or video call.
What payment methods and financing options do you offer?
We accept bank transfer, PayPal, major credit cards, and Klarna. For high-value instruments, we offer individual installment plans on request. Please contact us directly — we will find a suitable solution for every budget.
How do I properly care for my classical guitar?
A classical guitar requires constant humidity between 45 and 55 percent. Store the instrument in its case with a humidifier, avoid direct sunlight and large temperature fluctuations. Change the strings regularly and clean the guitar with a soft microfiber cloth.

About the Luthier – Edmund Blöchinger
Edmund Blöchinger was born and raised in a small town near Munich. His early fascination with the visual and auditory aspects of music guided him toward a unique path in fine craftsmanship. As a child, he admired the shapes of classical guitars displayed in shop windows, while his grandfather, a retired forest ranger, taught him to appreciate the natural beauty of wood. This deep connection to nature remains central to his work, as he personally selects and cuts the wood used for his guitars.
After initially training as a carpenter, Blöchinger’s ambition to become a guitar maker was realized in 1982 when he began an apprenticeship in a nearby guitar workshop. A defining moment in his career came in 1987 with the discovery of José Luis Romanillos’ book on Antonio de Torres, further solidified by attending Romanillos’ masterclass in Córdoba in 1989.
Since then, Blöchinger’s craftsmanship has been profoundly shaped by the traditional methods and aesthetic principles of legendary makers. His guitars, celebrated for their warmth, clarity, and balance, achieve a distinctive concert-quality sound through meticulous attention to design and construction.
