Hermann Hauser I 1952 ex Sophocles Papas: One of the Last Guitars He Built: A Piece of History

A rare opportunity to hear one of the most historically important guitars ever built — a 1952 Hermann Hauser I, crafted in the final year of the master’s life. This instrument was made for Sophocles Papas, lifelong friend and collaborator of Andrés Segovia, and remains in exceptional original condition. The voice is unmistakably Hauser: deep, clear, and noble, with warmth and focus that defined the modern classical guitar. 🎸 View the full photo gallery and listing: https://guitarcollection.com/products... 00:00 Introduction: Prelude no. 5 by Manuel Maria Ponce 00:47 Introductory remarks 01:45 Excellent condition 03:37 Neck/playability 04:05 The sound 05:00 The amazing bass 07:37 Prelude no 11 by Francisco Tárrega 11:26 Julia Florida by Agustín Barrios 13:09 Maria Luisa by Julio Sagreras 15:05 Chords and individual strings 15:29 2nd string 15:53 3rd string 16:18 4th string 16:49 5th string 17:10 6th string 🔗 Follow me for more guitars & updates: ► Website: https://www.guitarcollection.com/ ► Instagram:   / theguitarcollection   ► Facebook:   / theguitarcollection   ► Subscribe on YouTube for more reviews!
