Model 37 Grand Concert

The Model 37 is a concert class instrument from our masterbuilt range which is hand crafted in an artisan workshop headed by luthier Niu Lihua, a former understudy of world renown master luthier Yulong Guo.

Only the highest grades of solid tone wood, which have been naturally seasoned for a minimum of 8 years, are used in the construction of these superlative instruments.

It is built to an original Herman Hauser design from 1937. One of the first instruments produced in that year was owned by Andres Segovia who stated that it was the finest guitar he had ever played. It was only ever produced with a spruce top which featured a 7 strut fan brace pattern very similar to that first conceived by Antonio de Torres. That said,  luthier Mr Lihua also builds a cedar top variant which we sell also.

The performance level of this superb instrument makes it fully at home in a concert or orchestral setting
