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.

Joseph Fischer (1746–1834) – Violin Maker from Füssen
Joseph Fischer was a respected violin maker from Füssen, Germany, a city renowned for its long-standing tradition of instrument making. He completed his apprenticeship under J. Anton Gedler and worked for a short time in Vienna before settling in Regensburg around 1790.
Fischer was known for his meticulous craftsmanship and for building instruments modeled after Jacob Stainer and Antonio Stradivari. His violins were distinguished by precisely carved soundholes and a lustrous yellow-brown or red-brown varnish. Due to their exceptional quality, some of his instruments were later mistaken for Italian works.
As a master craftsman, Joseph Fischer trained several apprentices, including his nephews, the Engleder brothers, and Petrus Schulz. Through his teaching, he influenced the next generation of violin makers and helped shape the evolution of southern German violin making.
