Carl-Hermann Schäfer – 2021
Carl-Hermann Schäfer – 2021
Overview
Overview
Carl-Hermann Schäfer started making guitars in 1966. He did his apprenticeship under the guidance of master guitar maker Ernest Köröskeny and later studied under master guitar maker Dieter Hopf. After having worked in Hopf’s workshop from 1971 to 1994, he opened his own in Oberneisen and moved to Niederbrechen, Germany, five years later. Carl Hermann Schäfer has specialized in making the most wonderful replicas one could wish for. These instruments are not only well built, but they also offer the very authentic sound of master instruments of the past.
The back and sides of this replica of a 1937 guitar by one of the most renowned German guitar makers of the 20th century are made of Indian rosewood and the top is made of beautiful hazel spruce. It has the exact dimensions of the guitar exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Arts in New York and once played by Andres Segovia. The aesthetics of the woods alone are impressive, but the tonal qualities of this Schäfer guitar are also extremely intriguing. The first string, in particular, sounds wonderfully clear and present, with a long sustain and great sparkle. The basses have a warm and supportive tone, and the individual notes can be shaped superbly. The high-quality German tuners from Scheller fit perfectly to the overall look of this traditionally built guitar and provide a perfect and smooth tuning.

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 -
