About the luthier
Hermann Hauser® I as a German luthier, holds a leading position among luthiers worldwide. He took over the instrument workshop of his father while Josef Hauser ® was still managing the music publishing house. Hermann Hauser® I specialised in making lutes and guitars but also remained true to the construction of zithers. In the context of the Guitaristic Movement in Bavaria, Hermann Hauser® I built a large number of different guitars; in particular the Vienna models and the Munich models in all kinds of forms, but all in absolute perfection. The Terz, Prim and the very rare Quintbass guitars of Hermann Hauser ® I are of highest quality. Even today, the sound of those instruments is still unsurpassed. Based on his special virtuosity, Hermann Hauser® I developed technical, patented innovations in the area of construction of the guitar’s tops and body-neck connections. The Spanish virtuosi Miguel Llobet and Andres Segovia became attentive to Hermann Hauser ® I’s art of making guitars at the beginning of the 20th century.
Hermann Hauser® I‘s way to build guitars greatly evolved throughout the 1920s. Strongly influenced by Miguel Llobet’s Antonio de Torres and Andrés Segovia’s Manuel Ramirez/Santos Hernandez, he progressively let the traditional Bavarian Tierce-guitars, Viennese models, etc. aside in order to focus on the construction of Spanish guitars. Not only did he succeed to adapt his craft to this new concept, but he overtook his predecessors. Improving his instrument’s sound qualities and giving them a unique pure personality, he eventually built the guitar that would be played and recorded for more than 20 years by Andrés Segovia, who called the instrument “the greatest guitar of our epoch”.
About the guitar
This beautiful guitar by Hermann Hauser III, one of the most respected luthiers of our time, is the Fana model, inspired by the famous Pepe Romero model. The rosette design is based on a 1958 Hermann Hauser II guitar, once owned by the Romero family, adding a historical and artistic connection to the Spanish tradition.
This guitar carries strong Spanish character, yet retains all the clarity and purity that define the Hauser sound. The cedar soundboard adds a unique balance between German tonal precision and Spanish warmth and expressiveness.
The trebles are warm, brilliant, clear, and deeply singing, while the basses are crunchy and solid, providing a firm foundation for the overall tonal spectrum.
Condition
As a pre-loved instrument, this guitar is in very good condition, with no structural issues on the soundboard. The Brazilian rosewood back has one repaired crack, which is quite common with this tonewood and does not affect the acoustic qualities in any way.

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.Look all products of the collection -
