In early 20th-century guitar making, the German Hauser family achieved prominence outside Spain.

The first generation thoroughly studied Torres and crafted traditional Spanish guitars using their own unique methods. Hauser II began learning guitar making in 1930 and started producing guitars bearing his own signature after 1952. Just as Hauser I had cultivated relationships with renowned guitarists like Llobet and Segovia, Hauser II deepened friendships with famous guitarists such as Segovia, Bream, and Reinhardt while continuing to build guitars that inherited his father’s materials and construction.

After the second generation passed away, the workshop was passed on to the third generation, and today it is passed down through the generations to his daughter, Katrin Hauser. It is one of the world’s finest classical guitars.
