Overview
Overview
This wonderful guitar was made by 'Petitjean', one of the best and most famous guitar workshops of those times in Mirecourt. Already in 1800 the family was engaged in the production of musical instruments. The workshop was most likely operated by many members of the family. The guitars were labelled with different manufacturer names like for example 'Petitjean L'ainé à Paris' (like in this particular case), 'Petitjean à Mirecourt' and 'Petitjean'. The innovation of the 'Petitjean' workshops was that guitars were no longer constructed with a two-piece back but rather with one-piece backs, which consisted of solid woods or veneers. In addition to that, valuable precious woods like Brazilian rosewood were processed. The shown guitar is very precisely processed and has a top consisting of finely grained spruce wood. The top’s frame as well as the sound hole is decorated with mother of pearl. This decoration made of mother of pearl can also be found on the sides of the saddle. The back and the ribs of this guitar are made of solid maple. The guitar is in very good playable condition.

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 -
