This instrument has a complex history. It was made for Celedonio Romero by Hermann Hauser III using a soundboard of his grandfather's (dating from 1946). Simply put, this guitar sounds like a new Hermann Hauser I. Basses are deep and firm, and it has the balance of a piano, all the way up to the highest note on the fretboard, with brilliant, singing trebles. The superb German spruce top is about 100 years old and has a deep amber color, but otherwise appears new. We believe this to be a unique Hauser III guitar in that it has been constructed with a top of his grandfather. This is undeniably one of the most collectible contemporary Hauser guitars in existence. An original letter by Hauser III, stating provenance and details of the materials, is included with the guitar.
