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.

Hermann Hauser III (Born 1958) – Continuing a Legacy of Excellence
Hermann Hauser III, a distinguished luthier and direct descendant of one of the most revered guitar-making families in history, carries forward his family’s legacy with unwavering dedication. Building on the foundation laid by his ancestors, he adheres to the philosophy of crafting a limited number of instruments each year to ensure the highest quality and satisfaction for discerning artists.
A Testament to Tradition
Since 1974, Hermann Hauser III worked alongside his father in their Reisbach workshop, each pursuing his own approach while upholding the shared Hauser heritage. He introduced his own numbering and signature system, marking the beginning of his personal chapter in the family’s history. Like his grandfather, Hermann Hauser I, he believes that only a small yearly production allows for the meticulous attention necessary to achieve tonal perfection.
Artistry and Sound
Legendary guitarist Andrés Segovia once praised Hauser’s guitars for their “indescribably beautiful sound.” Similarly, Pepe Romero described his Hauser instrument as having “the purest tone of any classical guitar.” The unique Hauser sound transcends technical precision—it is born from Hermann Hauser III’s refined craftsmanship and his close collaboration with musicians. Like his ancestors, he tailors each instrument’s tonal response to the individual preferences of the artist.
Crafting with Care
Hauser’s approach to luthiery combines historical study with modern refinement. He continues to analyze and restore historic instruments, particularly those built by his family, and occasionally releases limited special editions. His commitment to excellence has earned him widespread acclaim and numerous honors within the international guitar community.
The Art of Creation
Building a Hauser guitar demands not only technical mastery but also a deep understanding of musical expression and aesthetics. Each instrument requires between 150 and 240 hours of work, crafted entirely by hand with absolute precision. With a yearly output of only around 17 guitars, the waiting list for his instruments can extend up to five years.
A Timeless Companion
As Andrés Segovia wrote in the Hauser family guestbook: “An art guitar is a friend for life.” True to this sentiment, Hermann Hauser III’s guitars are more than instruments—they are lifelong companions that embody sound, soul, and artistry at the highest level.
Conclusion
Through his dedication to precision, sound, and tradition, Hermann Hauser III continues the Hauser family’s legacy of excellence. His instruments remain symbols of timeless craftsmanship and are treasured by musicians worldwide for their unparalleled quality, expressive power, and enduring beauty.
