Description

Beautiful contra guitar (Schrammel guitar) in the style of a Viennese Stauffer guitar – made around 1950 in Markneukirchen!

This type of guitar was invented in Vienna in the middle of the 19th century and quickly became very popular.
Famous guitar makers such as Johan Georg Stauffer, Johann Gottfried Scherzer and Franz Angerer made such instruments.
The contra guitar is therefore ideally suited for accompaniment in the field of folk music and Schrammel music. Nowadays it is also used in modern music and jazz.

This beautiful guitar was built in the style of the famous Viennese guitars. There is no label inside this great guitar, which is a pity because we would have liked to know who built this guitar in such a wonderful way.

It has the typical Stauffer headstock, the great looking Stauffer tuners and the adjustable neck. It has 15 strings.

The sound is very beautiful, masterly with concert quality. It has a sound with a lot of clarity, but at the same time an incredible tonal flexibility.At the same time it provides the magic that only an old, masterfully built guitar can create.
The guitar has a good response and can be surprisingly loud. At the same time it preserves a wide range of beautiful timbres in all registers.

The condition is very good for its age. It has no cracks and only very few signs of play and use. It plays great with a straight neck and a low action.
