Bernhard Kresse – Guitar Maker
Bernhard describes himself: Over the past 25 years, I have undertaken numerous restorations on historical instruments. My focus has been on working with early 19th-century romantic guitars such as those made by Stauffer, Panormo, Lacôte, or Fabricatore, as well as Spanish-style guitars like those crafted by Arias, Torres, Garcia, or Hauser. My clientele ranges from professional musicians and private collectors to conservatories and museums.
In addition to common standard repairs and overhauls on guitars, my workshop also undertakes more extensive restoration work. In most cases, the goal is to achieve a playable musical instrument. Depending on the condition and rarity of the instrument, a more conservative approach may be warranted, one that focuses solely on preserving the instrument’s original state. However, this decision must be made in consultation with the owner before restoration begins.
By a conservative approach, I mean that every intervention should be as reversible as possible. This requires the use of reparable hide glues, as traditionally used in violin making for centuries. Another priority is the preservation of all instrument parts in their original state, including the finish. The replacement of entire components (in cases of woodworm damage or destruction) should be the last resort.
