This classical guitar takes as its inspiration (largely for structural details) the iconic 1937 Hauser I that was immortalized in the hands of Andres Segovia over several decades of concertizing and recording - the original is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. German's Hauser model is perhaps his best well-known, it has been recorded by both John Holmquist and Jason Vieaux for their five Naxos recordings, and won German First Place in the Concurso Nacional de Constructores y Ejecutantes de Guitarras in 2000. It is also constructed with his finest and most well-seasoned materials. It is noticeably apparent that maestro Rubio has entered a new era in his career here. A 25-year old German spruce soundboard dictates the sonic direction of this instrument. It has an unparalleled combination of note separation and clarity that will highlight the melody of the most demanding musical pieces. Its sonorous character and wide dynamic range lends itself to attain that much desired "everything goes silent" aspect. Bold, clear, balanced, this guitar records and concertizes beautifully. All of this coupled with a beautiful marriage of understated yet classic aesthetics make this a very special contribution to our high end line of guitars. We are very excited to offer this gorgeous guitar to our discerning clientele.
