This 2007 Michel Brück No. 131 is a spruce and CSA rosewood classical guitar, a traditional solid top in excellent condition.

No. 131

Numbered 131 on its signed label, it has the soulful, Spanish flair of his traditional guitars, with exact workmanship and perfect attention to detail. Marina Tomei plays Debussy’s “Clair de Lune” on it in the video above.

Sound and Condition

The sound is smooth, clear and lyrical, with great volume, evenness of tone and excellent intonation. Although used, it is in excellent condition, with only some wear in the finish from regular playing.

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.
