Hermann Hauser III has tirelessly built guitars that capture the sound and aesthetic of the "teutonic" style, as initially established by his grandfather, Hermann Hauser I and transmitted through his father, Hermann Hauser II. Although it is one of the most iconic (and copied) styles since its inception, it should be no surprise that the style has been most faithfully preserved by Hermann III - indeed he works in the same workshop as his father and grandfather, uses many of the same tools, and even uses woods that were acquired by both his paternal predecessors. Features of the "teutonic" style are the extreme clarity and balance between voices, even sustain in all registers, and of course incomparable beauty and purity of tone. The sound of this style of instrument has been most famously immortalized by such giants as Andres Segovia and Julian Bream in countless recordings as well as by numerous other major players including Marcelo Kayath, for whom this guitar was originally built.
Workmanship and materials on this particular guitar are outstanding. It features aged spruce for the soundboard, as well as a drop-dead set of birdseye maple for the back and sides with a 3-D texture to it that "moves" when tilted in light, what we think of as having almost a "lava-lamp" like texture. Absolutely stunning. Inside the guitar there is small 2nd label that reads "custom built" and Marcelo tells us this simply means it's because he personally selected all these woods himself from Hauser's most precious stock of materials. The design is essentially the same as the legendary Segovia-owned guitar of Hauser I from 1937. It is in amazing condition for its age, with almost no wear in the finish, yet still has a beautifully played-in and "loosened up" sound that lends a gorgeous glow to each note, which (in perfect Hauser style) is perfectly balanced across all registers with supreme definition/separation between voices. As already mentiond, this guitar has only had 1 owner to date - the great Brazilian guitarist Marcelo Kayath who (with his strong right hand) played and broke this guitar in beautifully, enhancing its warmth and beauty of sound. Overall, this is a gorgeous example from one of the most recognized and respected workshops in classical guitar history.
