Carsten Kobs is one of most famous German luthiers, based in Hamburg, Germany. He is one of the pioneers of double-top construction and thus one of the first generations of German luthiers to adopt this innovative building technique. His double-top guitars are known for their distinct lightness, responsiveness and volume.  With a long and ever-growing waiting list (over 5 to 6 years), Kobs guitars are rarely available; it is a great opportunity to get a first-class double-top concert guitar at a market price, considering the demand for Carsten Kobs guitars is currently particularly high due to their formidable characteristics and is constantly increasing. This beautiful guitar is something very special, as the top is made of splendid choice of cedar. As a result, it develops a unique “Kobs” sound, precise and warm, powerful and rich. On top of that, the playability is superb, and the premium Scheller tuners underline the high value of this inspiring guitar. Casten Kobs chooses the finest timbers for this exceptional instrument: an elegant and fine top made of dark cedar and back and sides of premium CITES-certified Brazilian rosewood. This double top is in excellent condition with only a couple of very light playing marks.  It perfectly embodies the best of Kobs’ double-top concept with a powerful and highly expressive sound character, as well as a very lyrical and warm tone. It is astonishing how well the guitar responds to subtle dynamic changes and how effortlessly and lightly it plays throughout. Due to its excellent to mint condition, it is a ready-to-play classical guitar whose sound, playability and volume will delight both the guitarist and the audience from the first note. This guitar is placed in Rome centre city, Italy.
