Description

Dieter Hopf Artista Membrane 2011 Classical Guitar – fine handmade guitar with unique construction and excellent sound!

Dieter Hopf’s family has been building for over three centuries and this Artista Membrane uses the newest techniques. This unique design is a limited double top – the marked oval area visible on the cedar top is less than 2mm thick, but lattice braced with a carbon fiber layer. The result is an exceptionally loud voice, its tone tempered by the standard cedar top areas, with great projection.

In its general construction beyond the top, the Artista Membrane shares many features with other modern high quality lattice braced classical guitars. The top is Red Cedar, the sides, back and headplate are of rosewood. The neck, which uses a traditional Spanish ‘slipper heel’ with the sides tied into the heel, is Spanish Cedar with Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. The tuners are by Schaller. The nut and saddle are bone. As common for concert style classical guitars, this uses a 650 mm scale length and 52 mm nut.

This Dieter Hopf Artista Membrane 2011 Classical Guitar is in very nice condition. A one owner instrument that has been well taken care for. The sound of this Dieter Hopf Artista Membrane 2011 Classical Guitar is quite loud, yet without harshness. The combination of double and single top seems to work quite well for tempering the negative tonal effects of high volumes, which can sometimes be brash rather than sweet and well rounded.
It has a charming and complex basic tone and offers very impressive possibilities of colors and expressions. The basses are powerful without imposing too much and the trebles sound very lovely and brilliant.

This Dieter Hopf Artista Membrane 2011 Classical Guitar comes with the original case.
