2008 Michel Brück No. 137 SP/CSAR

This 2008 Michel Brück No. 137 is a spruce and CSA rosewood classical guitar – one of his last traditional solid tops before he turned to the double top.

No. 137

The label is numbered 137, dated 2008 and signed. Workmanship is very exact, in the spirit of Torres, Santos and Arias.

Sound

Smooth, clear and lyrical, with great volume across all registers and excellent intonation – perfectly suitable for recitals either 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.
