Hopf Gran Concertio - a true masterpiece by Dieter Hopf - with a rich and dark sound!
Hopf has had a name in instrument making since 1669. Since then, the chronology can be documented without any gaps. The more than 350 years of family tradition and the more than 60 years of experience of Dieter Hopf alone give an idea of the knowledge that goes into Hopf guitars.
Dieter Hopf was born in Zwota / Vogtland in 1936, completed a 2-year apprenticeship as a violin maker in Mittenwald and eventually specialized in guitar making. He has been working as a master guitar maker in Taunusstein since the 1960s. He has trained and shaped an entire generation of guitar makers and is considered one of the best guitar makers in Germany.
Hopf worked intensively on the further development of the concert guitar and acquired 2 patents: The free-swinging soundboard system and the so-called „rosette bridge“ (additional sound hole openings on the bridge).
This guitar is something special. Built in the Ramirez 1a style, this guitar has special sound characteristics.
The guitar is initially enormously powerful and impresses with its long-lasting sustain. The sound quality can be described as mystical with an almost magical attraction. The guitar fills the entire room with the most beautiful tones and impresses with a breathtaking variety of timbres. An absolutely noble instrument at concert level - very finely built for the highest tonal demands.
The guitar was recently brought to Dieter Hopf for inspection and he was thrilled to see it in such good condition.
The top is made of cedar, back and sides of jacaranda. The scale length is 662 mm and the nut width is 54 mm.
The guitar is in very good condition. The guitar has only minor signs of use.
It comes with a beautiful guitar case!
