Model Doff Romance

[DoffGuitars]

Creating this guitar, we tried to repeat the same sound as the antique seven-string guitar has. The museum Muller’s factory guitar of 1900 was taken as a basis. Of course, we did not just blindly copy the instrument; on the contrary, we tried to add some modern knowledge about the creation of the guitar. We have increased the size of the body to the classic dimensions, used contemporary cover, the rest was left the same as it was 110 years ago. We cannot say that we easily succeeded at once. The first two models we have just rejected, because there was not the same sound as the antique seven-string guitar has. Now, finally, after the half a year of experiments, in our opinion, we succeeded. For sure, the new guitar, we created, makes interesting impression. Only you can evaluate our results.
