Holzapfel & Beitel / 12-string Ca / 1915 / Guitar

Holzapfel and Beitel, 12 String from ca. 1915. Baltimore luthier Carl Holzapfel is known to have built the best 12 string guitars that were ever made, instruments that in the words of vintage dealer John Bernunzio: “It sounds like two guitars, a harp and a zither all in one!” And this one proves him right: incredible volume, produced by a combination of deep body, light top and very solid neck . and some added magic that nobody to this point has been able to reproduce (even though there are some companies that now offer replicas of the original). This 16" instrument Features a spruce top, deep mahogany body and medium 640mm (25 3/16") scale length. Mike Seeger made it famous, other noted players were Ray Koerner and Eric Darling. This particular guitar was formerly owned by Baltimore artist, blues player and guitar expert Neil Harp, best known for his book on Stella guitars. Harpe is the world authority on Holzapfel instruments, see his article in Fretboard Journal Sept 2008. https://www.fretboardjournal.com/features/fretboard-journal-11-whats-inside/ From Neil Harpe’s website „Stellaguitar.com“ about this guitar http://www.stellaguitar.com/inventory_of_vintage_gui.htm Includes 1930s hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
