Roy Fankhänel – 2020

Description

Roy Fankhänel’s runs his workshop in Oelsnitz, Germany, where he builds guitars in the German tradition. He shows a very high level of craftsmanship that can be seen in features such as the V-joint, the details of the rosette, the design of the head, and the quality of the construction in general. His guitars are powerful instruments with a generous rich sound. They are very easy to play and feature a slightly radiused elevated fingerboard.

This beautiful guitar is Roy Fankhänel’s new model “Clara”, developed in early 2020. Roy has made some changes in the construction method to produce a guitar with even more projection and volume, as well as an elegant and elaborate appearance. This instrument has a special back bracing and triple sides. Nevertheless, the weight has not increased, and this lightweight guitar is very comfortable to handle. Numerous inlays, especially on the bridge and on the rosette, give it an imposing and well-conceived overall look that shows a strong influence of Spanish tradition.

Die Klangeigenschaften dieser Gitarre sind fantastisch. Sie ist ein sehr kraftvolles Instrument mit einem sehr reichen und vielseitigen Ton. Eine der herausragenden Eigenschaften dieser Gitarre ist das Sustain, sowie ihre ausgesprochene leichte Spielbarkeit. Die Tonqualität ist bis in die hohen Lagen konstant, und sie hat eine besonders klangvolle und lieblich singende erste Saite. Sie ist eine Gitarre, die Tradition und Moderne auf die beste Art und Weise miteinander verbindet.
