About the luthier
The Hopf family has a long tradition of instrument making, dating back to 1669 when the name “Hopf” was first mentioned in a written document. This rich heritage has been carried forward to the present day by Dieter Hopf, who continues to uphold the family’s legacy. Born in 1936, Dieter Hopf has lived in Taunusstein since 1949. He initially trained as a violin maker in Mittenwald before shifting his focus to guitar making, earning his master craftsman certificate in 1968. Over the decades, his instruments have been played by renowned guitarists such as Alexandre Lagoya, Baden Powell, and Michael Tröster, cementing his reputation as one of Germany’s most respected luthiers.About the guitar
This 2019 *Portentosa Evolución* No. 120 is a remarkable example of Dieter Hopf’s craftsmanship, blending traditional design with modern innovations. The guitar features a cedar top paired with Indian rosewood back and sides, a combination that produces a warm, full-bodied tone with exceptional depth and clarity. The lattice-braced top, reinforced with a thin layer of carbon fiber, amplifies its loudness and projection, delivering a big, resonant sound that fills both intimate and large spaces effortlessly. Despite its power, the guitar offers surprisingly good tone separation, allowing each note to stand out clearly, making it ideal for complex musical passages. This guitar is not only powerful but also versatile, offering a tonal palette that is balanced, rounded, and rich in color. The light construction and responsive touch make it a pleasure to play, ensuring a comfortable and rewarding experience for the performer. This instrument is in very good condition, with normal signs of wear, maintaining its visual beauty and exceptional acoustic qualities.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.

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 -
