{"product_id":"kenneth-brogger-2026-indian-rosewood-mosaic","title":"Kenneth Brögger - 2026 Rosewood \"Mosaic\"","description":"\u003ch3\u003eAbout the luthier\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eKenneth Brögger was born in Hellerup, north of Copenhagen, in 1948 and trained with the Danish guitar maker Yngve Barslev from 1972 to 1975. During these formative years he travelled several times to Spain, deepening his understanding of the living traditions of guitar making, and built his first guitar in 1974. He established his own workshop in Birkeroed in 1975 and soon became closely involved with Denmark’s historical instrument culture, working at The Museum of Music History and Carl Claudius’ Collection in Copenhagen, where he measured and catalogued antique guitars. His career has combined building, restoration, research, writing, and public expertise. Brögger has received several scholarships from the Danish Arts Agency, published books and articles on the guitar, and was awarded the Applied Arts Prize of 1879 and the silver Hetsch Medal in 1997, among the highest Danish recognitions for artisan craftsmanship. His work reflects a rare combination of workshop practice, historical knowledge, and long experience with Spanish guitar traditions, including further study of French polishing techniques with Manuel Reyes in Córdoba and Antonio Marin Montero in Granada.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the guitar\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThis 2026 Kenneth Brögger classical guitar is built in traditional Spanish construction with a spruce soundboard and Indian rosewood back and sides, all finished in French polish. Like its maple counterpart, it carries a rich decorative imagination inspired by Enrique García and Francisco Simplicio, yet the darker voice of rosewood gives the whole instrument a different centre of gravity. The purflings, rosette, tie block, and back are treated with beautiful mosaic work, so that the decoration becomes a continuous thread through the guitar rather than an isolated ornament. On the headplate, an ebony inlay is framed by the elegance of rosewood, giving the instrument a calm, distinguished face. Tonally, this guitar brings brilliance and depth into close conversation. The spruce soundboard gives the trebles a clear forward movement, while the Indian rosewood adds weight, colour, and a darker resonance beneath the surface. The sound feels open and fresh, with excellent clarity, strong volume, and a separation between voices that allows each line to keep its own contour. There is brightness in the attack, but also substance behind it, as if the notes were lit from the front and supported from below. The sustain is generous, the balance is even, and the instrument projects with the kind of clean definition that makes musical textures easy to shape. It is a guitar of refined Spanish inspiration, decorative precision, and a voice that combines brilliance, depth, and articulate presence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Siccas Guitars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54085197168973,"sku":"KS17930","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/4011\/7325\/files\/kenneth-brogger-2026-ndian-rosewood-mosaic-14.jpg?v=1781175632","url":"https:\/\/www.siccasguitars.com\/products\/kenneth-brogger-2026-indian-rosewood-mosaic","provider":"Siccas Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
