Comments
Another magnificent example of work by the old masters. Hermann Hauser II ranks, in my opinion, among the best of them, and this guitar shows us why. I don’t believe it necessary to go on and on about the quality of sound and play emanating from this guitar. I have been fortunate to own many of Hauser II guitars, and have seen quite a few more, from the grandfather to Hermann the III. They are all mostly exemplary but Hermann II was very consistent. Clearly an investment as well as a player’s guitar. She has an exquisite voice, capable of most anything you might desire.
Issues with the guitar? A professionally repaired hairline crack on the Lower Bout Bass side of the top. A very fine hairline crack on the back.
Setup is low, at 3.6mm low E 12th fret, but the string break is nice. She’s playing very nicely right now. The canted fingerboard is in beautiful shape, helping with required relief, yet keeping the neck straight.
The CSA is straight grained, as you would expect, with a beautiful reddish coloring throughout, with most attractive figuring. It is the literal definition of “eye candy”. The top is superb, bear clawed, translucent in appearance. Hermann II had a very good eye and ear for the best of tonewoods.
The guitar is considered a Llobet model by Hauser II – quite a rare build, only a handful were built by Hermann Hauser II – comes with an additional saddle (the original, colored as the nut, concave as requested by Julian Bream). We cannot say the guitar was owned by Julian, but it sure feels like it. The moment I picked her up, I could feel something different. That’s all I can say. LOL

Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended including EQ manipulation, if possible. We record everything flat with just a touch of Reverb to relieve dryness. My goal is to record the guitar as realistically as is possible. I speak in the recordings, my thoughts about the guitar (and possibly other things?). My speaking also serves to give you my first impressions and to also give you a balance of the engineering (or lack thereof) versus the sound of the guitar. I simply do not have time to engineer much of anything. Thanks. Rich
