    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.

    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 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.

You can hear each individual note so clearly and distinctly when she plays vibrato, and the timing is so perfectly even as well. By far though the most STUNNING part of this performance is her excellent use of dynamics. Absolutely pristine.

    We Spaniards have a special bond with the guitar, it is an essential instrument in our culture. And we are lucky that many people here know how to play it. We are paralyzed when we hear someone playing it well, anywhere, in any situation, it electrifies our skin. It's our kryptonite. And this piece by maestro Albéniz in particular makes me breathe so slowly..., because I'm afraid to interfere with each note. I close my eyes and listen to a mountain stream, with clear waters, jumping from rock to rock. And I love how this Ana Vidovic interprets it.

      Tell me about it, and for some reason they always seemed to be sitting within 10' of the microphones when I was trying to record a performance. Just another example of Murphy's law, I guess. Some were so bad it was about the equivalent of a baby crying through the whole performance, extremely loud and almost constant. I don't know why people don't understand that they need to leave when they have to cough up a lung or two, but apparently they often do not. It is inconsiderate and downright rude, actually. The one i'm talking about here was FAR worse than on this video, no comparison, but still, if the coughing gets regular, get out, the tens to hundreds of people that paid to hear the concert will appreciate it, believe me. :-/
      It was so bad once, that I actually just gave up and slammed the stop button. The guy I was recording for got kind of irate about it because they were supposed to broadcast the performance later in the week on their radio station. I said something like come here and take a listen. He put on the phones, I played about 1 minute of what I had recorded, and asked him when he took off the phones if they would broadcast THAT? He still wasn't happy, but admitted the recording was junk, and he knew it was not something they would want to put on the air.
      Sorry, but you struck a chord, so to speak.

    I was born in Portugal (west of Spain) in 1984. To be honest, I never cared much about the guitar as an instrument, but of course it's hugely popular here and everywhere between the classical and modern elements. Don't quite remember how I got to this video, but this performance just captured my soul: it brought to life all the feelings that haven always been there growing up in Portugal and Iberia - the tunes, the history, the cultural connection, the connection to the arabic world from like 800+ years ago when arabic peoples invaded and left a lot of their culture. All together, it just feel it enriches so much my life just hearing a perfect rendition of this, which stirs my soul.
    I wish everyone experienced this - we wouldn't have fighting or terrorism.

      I m Syrian, I learned the guitar when I was 12 and Asturians was one of the first pieces I fell in love with. I have always been a big fan of the guitar, and Spanish music, and later on Spain when I visited. I also heard lots of amazing things about Portugal from my friends who visited it, especially Portuguese tarts and the fish.
      I felt at home when I was in Spain, I connected to it much more than the UK who I've been living in for 3 years now. The culture, the history, the architecture, the food, the people, the lifestyles. I can all connect with cz of how similar it is to my culture and background. What made me even more connected is when I did an ancestry DNA test and found that I have a substantial percentage of Iberian in me. The Levant particularly and Iberia have been connected since the Phoenicians 4000 years ago, even before the MENA invasion of Iberia. Love to all Iberians everywhere!!
