This 2008 Super de Luxe Gitano by Stefan Hahl represents the ultimate
in contemporary Selmer guitar design. Most builders today obsessively
try to replicate the design and building techniques of "golden era"
guitars like the original Selmers, Busatos, and later Favinos. Hahl has
dared to be different by using the Selmer design, which he has studied
extensively, as a starting point for something new and unique. His
guitars characteristically combine the complexity, warmth, and
listenability of archtops and flatops with the punch and clarity of
Selmers. The real genius of his work is that he has succeeded in making
a contemporary, sophisticated sounding Gypsy guitar without loosing the
essence of the Selmer sound. Others have tried to make such a guitar,
but the end result is that warmth and complexity are traded for clarity
and punch, which results in a very muted and dull sounding guitar. Not
so with Hahl. His guitars produce notes with a rounded, satisfying tone
but are still springy enough to shoot out of the instrument in volume
challenged situations.
Hahl's work has been well received by the very finest Gypsy guitarists
today. Most notably, by Bireli Lagrene who owns three Hahl guitars and
has used them on most of his recent recordings. check out: Move,
Just
the Way You Are, To
Bi or Not to Bi, and Live
Gypsy legends Dorado Schmitt and Hono Winterstein also play Hahl
guitars.
Hahl uses his finest woods for the Super de Luxe model. This
guitar features 60 year old top and 60 year old Brazilian
rosewood. Additionally, the wood used on this guitar is from the very
same tree as Bireli Lagrene's personal guitar!! In fact, this guitar is
exactky the same model the Bireli has been playing for the last several
years.
