Overview
Overview
This very interesting guitar was built by the Swedish luthier Heikki Rousu. Heikki has been building guitars since 1990 and has crafted more than 300 instruments by now. This special instrument is an eleven-string guitar, also known as alto guitar or Bolin guitar. This extended-range classical guitar was developed by the Swedish luthier Georg Bolin in the 1960s and has been largely popularized by guitarists Per-Olof Johnson and Göran Söllscher.
This great 2022 model, with the number 425, shows an amazing and harmonically rich overall sound. It is designed to play lute music with guitar technique and thus offers fascinating possibilities for guitarists and, due to the extensive sound range, also a completely independent sound world. Especially those guitarists who strive for an authentic approach to pieces by e.g. J. S. Bach and S. L. Weiss will be thrilled by the manifold possibilities of this hybrid guitar. It is tuned g d a f c G F Eb D C B, thus a third higher than a traditional 6-string guitar, and offers an impressively abundant and resonant sound.

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 -
