This guitar
is from the Braun and Hauser workshop. It is what latter Hermann Hauser
would call his Munich model. He also later made a Vienna model, see the
1937 Hauser in this collection. Its tone is typical of Hauser's
non-Spanish guitars -- balanced, rich, complex, great clarity and
separation, with concentrated trebles and resonant basses. It has great
volume. The back, sides, and neck are of basswood with a reddish cherry
stain. The top is of German spruce. It has a ebony stained fingerboard.
Its string length is 610 mm.
