Fritz Ober - 2013

Fritz Ober - 2013

Overview

Fritz Ober was born in Rosenheim in 1955 and learned to play the guitar at an early age. He built his first instruments in the 70’s based on guitar building books. Later he trained with the instrument maker Helmut Buchsteiner and initially focussed on the construction of lutes. According to his own statements, the skills he acquired were decisive for his current approach to guitar making, which was inspired above all by old masters such as Antonio de Torres. His workshop is located in Munich.

The timeless design of this elegant A. de Torres inspired model sums up perfectly the qualities of the Spanish classical guitar at its best. Fluid lines and slightly smaller body-size are this model’s signature. This guitar has an exceptional set of CITES-certified Brazilian rosewood as well as the finest engraved Scheller tuners. Moreover, this light-weighted instrument has a beautiful low E body air-resonance frequency. Such a deep voice instantly carries away the guitarist in a sound dimension that one usually almost only finds with century old original instruments.

This guitar’s sound is graceful, subtle and magnificent. After having enjoyed the unique charm of the first string and the colossal deepness of the basses, the guitarist will be surprised by the sensitivity and sustain of the middle voices. Moreover, an ingenious balance and effortless playability make this guitar truly admirable as an ideal concert instrument.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
