Hermann Hauser II of Reisbach - Germany

• Year:

  1965 - no. 762. Signed and dated 7-1-65 underneath the spruce front.

• Body:

  Back and sides of south american rosewood or other hardwood. The timber of the sides is of very fine quality; dark and quarter-sawn with straight grain. The back is unexceptional but dark, uniform and stable.
  Appears to be all shellac french-polished.
  Top bout:- 282 mm wide & 92 mm deep.
  Waist:- 238 mm
  Bottom bout:- 367 mm wide & 97 mm deep.
  This is a little larger than both the 1958 guitars, numbered 632 and 635.

• Front:

  Bavarian haselfichte spruce with a lovely rosette, black rosewood bridge and the double, green purflings.

• Tuners:

  Original Lansdorfers with engraved sideplates and white mother-of-pearl buttons.

• Scale:

  646mm

• Neck Width:

  51 mm at the nut

• Weight:

  1567 grams

• Condition:

  In exceptional condition, particularly given that it has been played professionally for more than 20 years.
  No repairs, no cracks, original frets, original polish and only very minor playing marks.

• Comments:

  A little larger and heavier than the late 1950's Hauser II's, this is another lovely instrument. With an air resonance nearer to G, this instrument has such clarity, refinement and a lovely balance combined with rounded, natural and traditional tone colours that grace any repertoire.
