{"product_id":"armin-hanika-he-torres-cedar-1","title":"Armin Hanika - HE Torres Cedar","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eAt HANIKA, craftsmanship is regarded as tailor-made precision and sound as art. The manufacture in Baiersdorf traces its roots to Helmut Hanika, who founded the SOLI company in 1953 after learning violin making through the family workshop tradition of his grandfather, Anton Mayer. As demand changed, Helmut Hanika moved from folk guitar production toward high-quality classical guitars, establishing the name Hanika as a respected German reference for refined hand-built instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eSince 1993, the company has been led by Armin Hanika, the second generation of the family. Under his direction, HANIKA continues to combine experienced handcraft, carefully selected materials, and modern construction concepts across a wide range of classical guitars, from the Studio Line to the specially made instruments of the Professional Line.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe Hanika HE Torres belongs to the Professional Line and presents a refined spruce and ziricote concert guitar with a warm, articulate, and substance-rich voice. Its asymmetrically weighted, domed spruce soundboard is designed for efficient response, allowing the guitar to speak quickly while preserving tonal depth and dynamic flexibility. The expressive ziricote back and sides add visual distinction and support a firm, resonant foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eMusically, the HE Torres combines crispness with warmth. The spruce top gives the sound a clear beginning and a lively sense of projection, while the body of the instrument adds colour, sustain, and fullness without losing separation. This balance makes the guitar well suited to players who need a responsive concert instrument capable of lyrical phrasing, precise articulation, and a broad dynamic range.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe construction also reflects Hanika’s attention to playing comfort and refined detail. The reinforced cedro neck and optimized heel support a comfortable left hand position in the upper register, while the shellac-polished soundboard, high-gloss body finish, pierced head design, and Nicoló Alessi tuners give the instrument an elegant and carefully resolved appearance. It comes with a high quality BAM Hightech case.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe photos of this guitar are general product images that may differ from the actual instrument.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54320186720589,"sku":"KS17959","price":4699.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/armin-hanika-he-torres-2025-15.jpg?v=1763036247","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/armin-hanika-he-torres-cedar-1","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
