Modern HH – lattice bracing / double-top
With this modern take on the classical guitar, I reshape the Hermann Hauser format into an instrument with a positive neck angle, lattice bracing, or double-top construction. The design enhances projection, sensitivity, and tonal clarity without compromising the instrument’s aesthetics.
Ideal for contemporary repertoire, it offers a strong, balanced sound and merges innovation with the timeless elegance of traditional craftsmanship. Some of my design elements are inspired by the visual school of Angela Waltner. This guitar is well suited for conservatory students and teachers as well as concert performers.
