Overview: German
master guitar maker Achim Peter Gropius is one of Europe's most
exciting makers of fine individually handmade classical guitars. His
traditional signature sound is warm, very focused, and round: smooth powerful trebles,
midrange, and bass with impressive density and depth of sound. Perfectly
balanced throughout their entire pitch and dynamic ranges, these lovely
guitars respond with great finesse and beauty to both subtle and broad
changes in color and attack.
In sum - beautifully proportioned,
lovely to look at, easy to play - Gropius' classical guitars exude an
inspired and inspiring singing tone which is quite special. Moreover,
Gropius's instruments still represent a tremendous value in a wonderful,
innovative, world class concert instrument. (
