Classical guitars are our passion! We are specialized in the highest quality concert guitars as well as historic guitars from around the world. Our passion for these unique instruments and the joy to give guitarists, passionate players, and collectors the possibility to purchase their own appropriate instrument is the motivation that drives us. Another focus is to work closely with established and young, largely unknown luthiers. Together we want to develop new ideas and share experiences with our customers.

We also recorded pieces for many great composers such as Johann Sebastian Bach, Astor Piazzolla and Isaac Albeniz (Asturias). You will also find almost all the classical music composers that wrote for the classical guitar. Make sure to discover Agustin Barrios Mangoré, Manuel Maria Ponce, Heitor Villa-Lobos and many more if you don't know their compositions already

You can find our show room in 76137 Karlsruhe, Roonstr. 31, Germany

Jim Redgate is a highly sought-after Australian luthier, known for his guitars built for artists such as Ana Vidovic, Pepe Roméro and Odair Assad. This lattice-braced model is an exact copy of the guitar that Ana Vidovic plays. Jim Redgate’s instruments have their own sound and touch. The breath-taking volume combined with rich harmonics and impressive clarity of sound are quite unique. The playability is fantastic, and the guitars are relatively light in weight compared to the Australian standard.
We’ve of course heard Ana Vidovic in concert many times playing on a Redgate guitar, but this guitar convinced us even more of the quality of Jim’s work. The honesty and spontaneity of each note, the magnificent volume, the ease of playing, and the unique sound character of this guitar make it an instrument not only rare in Europe, but above all extremely enchanting.

At first glance this piece seems very hard to play.

But as you learn it, you'll find out that yeah it really is very hard.

I've worked with Ana Vidovic. I started in classical coughing after switching from cello aged 13. I've been coughing professionally now for over 30 years and have worked with some of the worlds finest audiences and on many famous recordings. In this particular work the challenge, as always, is to cough between the beats when least expected and to work with the sound engineers to choose the best part of the auditorium to achieve the correct reverberation for the genre. Believe it or not we did this in one take. Ana is great to work with, she actually prefers the Cadenza coughing fit over her work and very much leaves it up to me as the artist.

Nothing says “ Spanish guitar “ better than Asturias. Fabulous piece.

[Jake-ppzk]

Hands down the best version of Asturias out there.

No galloping, string attack is smooth and then aggressive at just the right moments, and her volume control over the tremolo is perfect.

I’ve listened to this dozens of times and it still holds up. Well done Ana!

[sakshipatil]

Why everyone is saying it's hard to play, i just clicked on video and it started

[felipehernandez]

This girl gave me the inspiration to sell my guitar

[yaakovhassoun]

I saw Ana play this live last year, I travelled to Greece to see her, the best concert I've ever attended.

[Kendrix_]

I've lost count of the amount of times I've watched/listened to this video. Her timing and feel are incredible. And her right hand is FLAWLESS! Would love to catch a live show at some point.

3:15 'Bronchitias' by Isaac Akoffdrop.

[AngelEarth]

Imagine some guy trying to impress her with his guitar, then she takes it from him and plays this.

[alexanderringler]

1:27 note how flowing the transition is from triolic tremolo to 1/8 tremolo. It's moments like those that makes the difference between a good performance or an enchanting performance.

[dimitri]

Eight years old, and you still got me coming back to this every now and then. You are a legend in your time.

[ignaciominuesa]

The cough in G minor at 3:41...simply amazing.

[valentingonzalez]

I am from Asturias (in Spain) and I have to say that this piece is very important to us and to see it performed so sweetly is something spectacular

[Minecraft]

I can officially play up to the 48 second mark on like, 40-50% speed after a few hours of practice lmao. This song is insane dude

[ZakharArazel]

The only problem with this piece was the man's cough, and this lady's concentration is a sign of her concentration power, especially this difficult piece, which requires concentration to raise and lower the tone of the piece, and to slow down and speed up the piece, and I am standing in my house clapping for her 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[Gdisele]

As a heavy metal fan this piece is fantastic. I listen to it often. It has an intensity and ferocity that is missing that is missing in most music. I love it.

[BirdYoumans]

Not sure how to describe what I just witnessed. Unless you play at least some guitar, you have no idea how good this is. I'm stunned. Passion and fire with subtlety. Bravo young

[philjamieson]

I love Spanish classics like this. This seems to me to suggest barely controlled passion, some primal feelings that are bubbling under the surface.

[dmiwlko]

I hold my breath at most difficult pieces as if I was performing myself. You made me feel involved and deep into this beautiful music. Thank you.
