About the luthier
Andreas Kirschner is among the most respected contemporary guitar makers in Germany. For many years, he has focused on the concert guitar as a living working instrument, refining his approach through close exchange with professional players and their practical needs on stage and in the studio. While his name is especially associated with double top guitars, his work as a whole is guided by a sustained interest in tonal development, clarity, and reliability.
He works together with his wife, Solveig Kirschner, a guitar maker and musicologist whose engagement with historical instruments continues to inform their workshop culture. This combination of practical craftsmanship, research, and musical understanding gives Kirschner’s instruments a distinctive sense of purpose. His guitars are valued not only for their tonal strength and ease of playing, but also for their restraint, precision, and consistency of build.
About the guitar
This Andreas Kirschner from 2016 is a traditionally built solid top concert guitar with a remarkably open and articulate voice. Although Kirschner is best known today for his double top instruments, this guitar shows how convincingly his tonal ideas translate into a more classical construction. The sound is clear, bright, and refreshingly direct, with strong separation between voices and an airy quality that gives the instrument presence without hardness.
The spruce top and Indian rosewood body produce a sound that remains balanced across the register, with a very good sustain and a pleasing sense of transparency in chordal writing as well as single line playing. It offers projection and immediacy, yet never loses control. Particularly striking is the way notes retain their individuality in every position on the fingerboard, giving the player a wide range of color without sacrificing coherence.
The response is quick, the attack clean, and the overall playing experience notably comfortable. Subtle construction details such as the slightly elevated fingerboard support this ease of handling, while the high quality Klaus Scheller tuners add further refinement to the instrument. This is a guitar that combines clarity, sustain, and flexibility in a way that feels both sophisticated and musically generous.
Condition
The guitar is in excellent condition with no damage or repairs. It shows only minimal signs of careful use, and the original French polish remains in excellent condition throughout.

Classical Guitars
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.Look all products of the collection -

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.
