Description
Gebrüder Placht Romantic guitar from ~ 1870 – high quality master guitar in the Viennese style!
The Placht brothers are a very large manufacturer of musical instruments. Founded in the 1820s, master instruments were produced under this label.
In the 1850s the centre of instrument making was in Vienna. There were more than a hundred active instrument makers in the city.
The Placht brothers had a shop in Vienna and another one in the capital of Hungary, today’s Budapest. The label on the guitar says “PEST”, because that was the name of Budapest in the 1800s. It also shows that the guitar was made before 1873, because in that year Buda and Pest united and the name PEST was no longer used.
This guitar is a real gem – you can immediately see the great quality of the craftsmanship and the high-quality materials used to build this guitar.
Back and sides are made of beautiful flamed maple. The top is made of high quality spruce. The fingerboard is made of ebony. The neck is height adjustable.
This guitar is built as light as a feather and has been optimally worked out in every detail.
This gives it a resonance like no other romantic guitar we have had so far. The guitar has a very fast response and can be surprisingly loud. At the same time it retains a wide range of beautiful timbres in all registers.
The scale length is 578 mm and the saddle width 45 mm.
The condition of the guitar is excellent for its age. It has been slightly revised, but is basically in a very good and original condition.
