Contraguitar - 1910

Contraguitar - 1910

Overview

This unique 10-string contraguitar was probably built around 1910. The two-piece top is made of spruce wood and is framed by dark and light veneers which can also be found around the sound hole. The impressive looking one-piece birds-eye maple back veneered with spruce and the sides with maple. The head is connected with the neck by a German joint. Neck and body are connected by a Viennese neck-body connection and the fingerboard protrudes the sound hole. The guitar is in good condition and only has some repaired cracks on the top and some minor hairline cracks on the surface of the veneered back.

  • 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.
