Die Akustikgitarre als Klangkunstwerk
It is those who have learnt and perfected the art of guitar making who provide the very special touch, the unmistakable sound of the instrument.
Acoustic guitars are not only an integral part of the rock and pop world, or a constant companion of singers and songwriters. Orchestras wouldn't want to be without them either.
Of course, there are now numerous mass-produced guitars that have an excellent sound and are also convincing in terms of playability. However, it is those who have learnt and perfected the art of guitar making who provide the very special touch, the unmistakable sound of the instrument.
This work therefore brings together biographies of guitar makers such as Daniel Stark, Peter Finger, Jean Larrivee and Richard Hoover and guitars and places them in a cultural and historical context. A special focus is placed on Ervin Somogyi, the master builder of the modern steel-string guitar.
Editor Fritz Heidorn himself is a music lover and guitar collector. This passion led him to become intensively involved in guitar making. With this book, he wants to share his knowledge and passion, because: ‘We should use acoustic guitars to enjoy their beauty and unleash our own musical creativity!
