Overview

Adrian Heinzelmann is one of his generation’s most talented German luthiers. His guitars are of great finesse with an aesthetic that combines the Spanish tradition and the modernity for which German luthiers are universally recognized. His guitars are played by many brilliant teachers, soloists, and students and have already proven themselves in major European concert halls. His craftsmanship and the way Adrian designs his soundboards are unique. Many narrow parallel trenches are carved inside the cedar soundboard to optimize its weight and flexibility. Combined with lightweight lattice bracing, this technique gives an instrument of great sensitivity and impressive volume. Playing Adrian Heinzelmann’s guitar gives confidence and pushes the guitarist beyond his limits.

This guitar epitomizes the fusion of traditional craftsmanship with modern design elements, making it a standout in the realm of modern classical guitars. This instrument offers a sophisticated blend of clear voice separation, prolonged sustain, and balanced polyphony, resulting in a complex tonal character that is both bold and nuanced. Its design features a comfortably rounded neck, and a slightly elevated fretboard to ease access to the upper register. Additionally, this guitar is noted for its exceptional volume, which allows it to perform admirably in a variety of concert settings without compromising on tonal richness. The impressive projection is finely balanced with its sonic appeal, a tribute to Heinzelmann’s meticulous attention to detail in its craftsmanship.

This pre-loved 2017 model is in excellent condition, with only minor signs of use that do not detract from its performance or aesthetic appeal. Owning an Adrian Heinzelmann guitar, is a rare privilege. The high demand, reflected in a waiting list stretching to 2030, highlights the exceptional value of these instruments.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitar

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
