August Beck 1928 - Master guitar in the style of a Hermann Hauser - Viennese model!
August Beck was a guitar maker from Dresden in Saxony, Germany. Not much is known about him. However, the few instruments that have survived show great craftsmanship and impress with their finely detailed work.
Like Hermann Hauser I, August Beck built this guitar in the style of the Viennese models. It is a wonderful instrument with an outstanding sound. It is well crafted and the choice of materials is excellent.
The guitar has a German spruce top and flamed maple back and sides. The scale length is 640 mm and the nut width is 47 mm. The original shellac finish is in good condition with some signs of use and wear. However, the guitar is in very good condition and has no cracks or repairs.
The sound is loud, powerful and with great dynamics - it has a large and deep body and this creates a sublime, almost majestic sound.
The sound is beautiful, masterful with concert quality. It has a lot of clarity, but at the same time an incredible tonal flexibility. It offers the magic that only an old, masterfully built guitar can produce.
The guitar offers a wide range of beautiful timbres in all registers.
