2020 Jochen Röthel, Cocobolo/Cedar
German luthier Jochen Röthel wields his chisels like a chef his knives, coaxing a work of functional art that charms the senses with a myriad of flavors and textures, tones. This 2020 Classical is a feast most sumptuous. Gorgeous Cocobolo back and sides with rich reds and dramatic figure pairs with Red Cedar on top, Ebony bindings, and a mosaic rosette of diamonds in Rosewood. Gold Scheller tuners (also of Germany) add a touch of elegance to the headstock; otherwise Röthel leaves the woods to speak for themselves. And what a voice they wield. The trebles have an immediacy and power that draws the ear in, without overpowering the bass or mids. The bottom end is deliciously warm and adds a richness and presence in which we lost track of time each time we sat down to play. Delicious, indeed.
"Simply gorgeous. Dramatically figured Cocobolo body over Red Cedar, Ebony bindings, and a diamond mosaic rosette—all in the service of a voice characterized by elegance, power, and immediacy." - Paul Heumiller Price: $14,420 For more information please visit:
