Salvador Ibanez - c. 1900

Overview

Salvador Ibáñez (* 1854 in Valencia; † 1920) began his apprenticeship as a luthier in Valencia. In 1870 he founded his own workshop where he built guitars, ukuleles, and mandolins. In 1897 he built one of the first double-neck guitars. After his death in 1920, his two sons took over the workshop. This guitar was built around 1900. The spruce top is in impressive condition and has a little repaired crack below the bridge. Back and sides are made of rosewood (one repaired crack). The rosette and the bridge are decorated with mother of pearl inlays. The original tuners have been replaced. A hardshell case is included.

  • 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.
