Wolfgang Jellinghaus - "Romantica Antique"

Wolfgang Jellinghaus - "Romantica Antique"

Overview

Wolfgang Jellinghaus has been building guitars since the age of fourteen. He was born in 1951 in Dortmund, Germany, the son of a guitar maker, where he grew up with guitars at an early age. Over the years he developed a great passion and expertise for this instrument. Wolfgang Jellinghaus has been living and working in China for several years, where he builds handmade guitars of astonishing quality in a small manufactory.

This superb romantic guitar is based on a model from the 1820s by Parisian luthier René Lacôte. Lacôte's guitars were highly appreciated by the music scene at the time, and are still very recognized for their finesse, beauty of tone and ease of playing. This replica has some interesting modern details, such as the rosette and the headstock, reminding us that this new instrument is a modern adaptation of the romantic guitar of the 19th century.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • 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.
