Gerold Karl Hannabach 1973 - fine handmade classical guitar - an excellent sounding instrument!
Gerold Karl Hannabach was born in Schönbach (today: Luby, Czech Republic) in 1928 and grew up in a family of string makers. At the age of 17, he had to leave his parental home and followed other Schönbachers to Bubenreuth, where he began an apprenticeship as a plucked instrument maker with Arnold Hoyer. He completed this in 1953 and set up his own workshop. In 1966, he passed his master craftsman's examination in guitar making and has since worked as a lecturer in musical instrument making at various institutions. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. Gerold Karl Hannabach is one of the best-known German guitar makers.
