2004 Michel Brück No. 104 CD/CSAR

This 2004 Michel Brück No. 104 is a cedar and CSA rosewood classical guitar – a traditional solid cedar top from Königsberg.

A Cedar-Top Brück

The label is numbered 104, dated 2004 and signed. The cedar top gives his Spanish-style design a warm, immediate voice, and the workmanship is very exact throughout.

Sound

Smooth, clear and lyrical, with great volume and even tone from the basses to the trebles, it has excellent intonation – a guitar equally at home in a solo recital 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.
