The replica guitar tone & characters
A good guitar by definition of Hauser is a compromise factor among loudness, balance (trebles, mid & bass) & the tone clarity. A concert guitar need not have to be very loud as an extreemly loud guitar tend to be more lack of the characters. The classical guitarist need more dynamics headroom to produce the music character hence the guitar's projection capability is somehow more relevant for concert players. The weight and size do not neccessarily means positively improve the projection capability but some time negatively affecting it. The Hauser guitars which is smaller than typical Spain made guitars surprisingly project better in any concert halls, the guitar construction is delicate, thin and capable to explode the every single notes clearly while maintain the balance across all the 6 strings & frets position.
World-class classic guitarist who played Hauser guitars
In 1937, Segovia played Hauser I guitar ("Segovia model", at the request of Segovia's requirements) then Julian Bream who also made some concert performance & recording with Hauser guitars since 1940 and somehow he made request to his luthier Jose Romanillos to make a few Hauser copies in his workshop. The other famous players like Pepe and Angel Romero in later years also played with Hauser II guitars. This replica guitar refer to Hauser I guitar style. In this world there are many other top luthiers made Hauser replica such as Jose Romanillos (UK), Manuel Velazquez (NY), Asturias (Japan), Kenny Hill (USA), etc ...
After Manuel Torres (the father of classic guitar maker from Spain), Ramirez (Spain) then Hermann Hauser I (German) are key luthier names who contributed & reshaped the history of classic guitar making.
