This is a great, full-size concert instrument built in the classic Velazquez style - lightweight yet sturdy build, with a firm sound that is strongly reminiscent of the "teutonic" style as developed by Hermann Hauser I and carried on by Hermann Hauser II - brilliant, sparkling trebles and steady basses are the standout tonal qualities - fans of Julian Bream's sound will immediately identify with this instrument. The fundamental of every note is crystal clear yet the resonance coming out of the box adds a nice rich fullness to the body of each note. The result is clean, pure tone with razor-sharp separation between all voices. Playability is very easy thanks to the sleek shape and contour of the neck. Condition is excellent – no cracks or repairs, only some mild playing wear in the top, which is French polished - the rest of the guitar is lacquered. Overall a great instrument by one of the great iconic makers of the last 7 decades.
