Coat of arms romantic guitar ~1910 - rare and unique - similar to Hermann Hauser, Richard Jacob Weissgerber + video!

Impressive coat of arms guitar from around 1910 – excellent quality built and good sounding guitar in the style of the guitars by Hauser. The guitar was built somewhere in Austria or north Italy, by an unknown builder.

Guitars in coat of arms shape have a long tradition in Central Europe. Besides their impressive appearance, they also allow the player to easily reach the lower registers of the fingerboard.
Many famous guitar makers such as Herman Hauser, Richard Jacob Weisgerber and numerous Viennese guitar makers around Stauffer, made coat of arms guitars.

This guitar is a fine example of a coat of arms guitar. It has some paralells to Hauser’s instruments and has beautiful wood carvings on the head and on the top. The fretboard is lightly scalloped and the neck is floating above the top.
The guitar has a fine spruce top and beautifully flamed maple for back and sides. The woods are of first class quality.
The scale length of the guitar is 605 mm and the nut width is 44 mm.

The sound is very touching and fine – this guitar evokes deep emotions. The basses are round and precise, with a very special and enchanting quality. The singing and crystalline highs offer a fantastic range of timbres.
The sound of the guitar is fine and delicate. Definitely a romantic guitar on a very high level.

The guitar is in very good (light restoration work has been done) and excellent playable condition, with a low action and a straight neck.
