Romantic Guitar - ca. 1910 Markneukirchen

Romantic Guitar - ca. 1910 Markneukirchen

Overview

This beautiful romantic guitar was built around 1910 in Markneukirchen, Germany. It is especially inspired by the guitars of Karl August Jacob (1846-1918), the founder of the famous Jacob family of instrument makers, of which Richard Jacob "Weissgerber" is the most famous. The spruce top is beautifully decorated, with a rose-shaped mother-of-pearl inlay and a delicate rosette, and the body is made of Indian rosewood. The top is in perfect condition and only on the back there are some restored cracks, so that the guitar can be played immediately.

This instrument has a very charming sound. The tone is clear and mellow and is typical for guitars from this period. It is also an excellent guitar to approach the romantic repertoire with an authentic sound and touch. We are always thrilled how an old instrument like this can still produce a beautiful and colourful sound.

  • 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.
