South German Romantic Guitar ~1880 - probably from Mittenwald.

A very beautiful romantic guitar built with great woods and the most outstanding tuners we have seen. We can't exactly tell who made this guitar, but
according to our research, the guitar can be assigned to the South German, Austrian area. The guitar has unmistakable characteristics of Viennese guitar building and we strongly suspect that it was built in the Mittenwald area by one of the top-class guitar builders.

The tuners are unique and handmade. They are a special production to fit only in this guitar. Back and sides alone are of maple. The top is made of finest alpine spruce. 
The scale length is 610 mm and the nut width 44 mm.

It has a remarkably sweet tone. Amazing how loud this little guitar can be. The tone is beautifully matured and presents the most beautiful timbres you can imagine. The combination of maple and spruce on this guitar is pure magic.

The guitar is fully playable and it even plays amazingly easily down the whole neck. The neck is straight and the action is very good.

It has quite some repairs all around. It also has a repair label inside.
