MunichLuthier -> Hello from Munich! (May 20 2015 21:46:35)

Hi alle! I am a luthier from Munich, Germany. I have the luck to live in the city where luthiers like Hauser I and his son Hauser II, Gert Esmyol, Fritz Ober, Sebastian Stenzel, Matthias Dammann (in his beginning) and many more have worked and still work. So maybe people do not know, but Munich is one of the major cities in guitar making. Not for flamencos, I know, but for classic guitars it is! I am making guitars for 13 years now, learned it autodidactively and a few guitarrists are ordering my guitars and play them. I am making my living from another job, so guitar making is more like an art for me. Intonation and the correction of intonation is one of my main areas of expertise and I have patented a fretboard calculation system, that show by far lee intonation issues than standard fretting. I am glad to share it with everyone interested in it! Besides that I build 7 string guitars, quint bass guitars and steelstrings. Flamenco is something I love to listen to and even if we have a very specific way of making music in Bavaria, I would never dare to get into flamenco as a player and as a maker because this is in my opinion something one has to grow up with or one has to have in his heart and blood - you just can't learn it. So I hope to have a good time her and speak to you soon! Michael
