Hermann Hauser

"Hauser Guitars - German Precision,
Spanish Passion ..."

This talented classical guitar maker was born in 1882 and died in 1952.

Both his son and grandson followed him into the profession as he himself had followed his own father into an instrument-making tradition.

Indeed, he is remembered as one of the greatest luthiers of his day, if not of all time.

He eventually started building guitars in the Spanish tradition based on the work of Torres. Having instrument making "in his blood" after studying with his father and at the State School for Violin Making, he "married" this with a "steely German engineering outlook".

It was no wonder Hauser produced guitars of such quality and timbre.

His guitars were so good that even the redoubtable Segovia was impressed by the quality of his work. Segovia eventually encouraged him to copy his 1912 Manuel Ramirez guitar, an instrument generally believed to have been built by Santos Hernandez.

Segovia made many famous recordings with that wonderful classical guitar over the years which helped to seal his reputation as one of the pre-eminent guitar makers of the day.
