We believe Hermann Hauser III guitars to be more like a Hauser I than any other maker in the world. We have compared these guitars in blind tests with Hauser I and Hauser II instruments and found them remarkably similar. They have excellent clarity, sustain, separation and beauty of tone. Workmanship and materials are outstanding - this aged top features very beautiful bearclaw figure and the rosewood on the back and sides has very striking and dramatic patterns, making it a feast for the eye. The design is essentially the same since the Segovia guitar of Hauser I in 1937. Julian Bream once said these guitars have an "aristocratic" tone. We believe that is an apt description.
