Dieter Hopf - La Portentosa - 1983
Familien Hopf dedikerede sig til konstruktionen af strengeinstrumenter for mange år siden. Allerede i 1669 blev navnet “Hopf” nævnt i et skriftligt dokument. Traditionen med at lave instrumenter har fortsat indtil i dag, og på nuværende tidspunkt fastholder Dieter Hopf arven. Dieter Hopf er født i 1936 og har boet i Taunusstein siden 1949. Først begyndte han at uddanne sig i Mittenwald for at blive violinmager. Bagefter vendte han sig mod guitarbyggeri og bestod sin kandidateksamen i 1968. Hans instrumenter er blevet og bliver stadig spillet af mange berømte guitarister.
På denne smukke guitar bygget i 1983 er dækket lavet af bjerggran, og bagsiden og siderne er lavet af brasiliansk palisander. Den er i næsten ny stand og portrætterer alle de flotteste træk ved Dieter Hopfs berømte “La Portentosa”-model.
Etiketten er håndsigneret, og det meget interessante afstivningsmønster er unikt i den klassiske guitars verden. Takket være de strukturelle innovationer opnår denne guitar en enorm volumen med stor klarhed og “sustain”, hvilket gør den særligt velegnet til koncertoptrædener såvel som kammermusikkoncerter.
