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.
