Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg

My friend Knud Sindt, lute-maker, brought some students of this university and their teacher by the workshop on Friday for a peek into the world of Granada guitar-making. These soon-to-be music teachers had plenty of questions and enjoyed the sound of one of my Torres Invencible copies. The teacher Axel and a few of the students are guitarists and put the guitar through its paces. This guitar is a copy of La Invencible which I think I will keep on hand to show to potential customers as it has an incredible similarity to the original Torres guitars in its deep, deep basses and warm trebles. As always I copied this guitar directly from the original. This Torres is very special and one of the reasons is the bracing. In the photo of the original you can see how two of the fan braces extend into the upper bout by way of cut-outs in the lower transverse bar.
