2002 Michel Brück No. 83 SP/CSAR

This 2002 Michel Brück No. 83 is a spruce and CSA rosewood classical guitar from Königsberg, Germany – one of his traditional solid-top guitars from the years after his time with Romanillos.

No. 83

The label – “Michel Brück, Königsberg” – is numbered 83, dated 2002 and signed. Workmanship is very exact, with perfect attention to detail.

Sound

It combines a soulful, Spanish character with modern strengths: great volume, evenness of tone across all registers and excellent intonation. The sound is smooth, clear and lyrical, perfectly suited to recitals, solo or in ensemble.

Michel Brück: From Romanillos to the Double Top

German luthier Michel Brück works in Königsberg, a village in Biebertal near Giessen. In 1989 he built a guitar under the guidance of José Luis Romanillos, and his traditional guitars of the following years were made very much in the spirit of the old Spanish masters like Torres, Santos Hernández and Vicente Arias – lovely, traditionally made guitars with a soulful, Spanish flair.

A Long Waiting List

From around 2010 Brück became increasingly sought-after for his double-top instruments, and he has accrued a lengthy waiting list of many years, so his guitars are difficult to get and rarely enter the used market. He numbers every guitar by hand on the label, beside the year and his signature.
