1921 Richard Jacob Weissgerber "Vienna" SP/MP

This particular instrument is a Vienna Model from 1921 (the same year Weissgerber would meet Miguel Llobet for the first time). It has an adjustable neck, elegant leaf inlays below the bridge and a slightly more compact body size and smaller string length, making it very easy to play. It has a very vintage, almost "antique" style of sound making it a perfect instrument for the player seeking an authentic 19th century "performance practice" sound which beautifully suits the music of Sor, Giuliani, Coste, Mertz, etc. It is in excellent condition and perfect working for its age. Apart from some minor work done in 2008 by Joachim Schneider (whose father knew Richard Jacob himself) to repair a hairline crack to the side of the fingerboard, tidy up the finish, and replace the tuning machines (made by Rubner - from Markneukirchen) the guitar is ready for the recording studio or concert stage.Orfeo Magazine #14 - Markneukirchen Special
