Joseph Kriner 1865 - outstandingly crafted guitar with extremely good sound and special design!

Joseph Kriner was born in Landshut in 1836 as the son of the instrument maker Lorenz Kriener. He spent his apprenticeship with his father and with Georg Tiefenbrunner in Munich. After his apprenticeship, he worked for Karl Eichinger, Alois Engleder and Karl Padewet in Munich, as well as for Johann Padewet in Karlsruhe and Adolf Bauer in Stuttgart. After the death of his father, he took over his father's workshop in Landshut in 1864.

Joseph Kriner mainly made violins, but was also known for his excellent guitars and zithers. His craftsmanship is outstanding and he had access to great woods.

This beautifully crafted guitar has a spruce top and maple back and sides. The scale length is 637 mm and the nut width 47 mm.
The beautifully crafted headstock and the fine ornamentation are outstanding.

The sound is powerful and sweet at the same time - it has a deep body and this creates a sublime, almost majestic sound. Combined with the shape of the body, the sound is very finely projected and has a very sweet and mellow note.
Overall, the sound is beautiful, masterful with concert quality - the guitar was certainly an instrument for professional use.
The clarity of tone is combined with exceptional tonal flexibility. As a result, the guitar offers the magic that only an old, masterfully built guitar can produce. It has a wide range of beautiful timbres in all registers.

The condition of the guitar is very good and it has been expertly restored by Paul Janssen. It plays very easily with a straight neck and low action.
