Classical guitars by Fritz Mueller. Magical concert guitars by one of Canada's leading luthiers.
I make classical guitars exclusively, approximately eight instruments per year. Since working with Jeff Elliott in the late 70's, my building has been firmly rooted in the Hauser tradition. Over the years I have added many of my own innovations, but important construction details from Hauser's instruments, such as their tap tones and air resonances, and even his plantilla (or body outline), still form the foundation of my work, while the magical Hauser sound continues to be an inspiration ...
My work is firmly rooted in the Hauser instrument-building tradition. Over the years I have added many of my own refinements, including composite or double-top construction for the sounding board. These are true concert guitars, with an exciting, magical sound that is a joy to play.
Classical Guitars: Koutsialis Charalambos: Mostly, the guitars that I make, have a top from spruce.
I prefer it for its sound cleanness, I put by request cedar wood also, that gives larger volume on the note, but does not have the cleanness of spruce.
The spruce that I use is from Alps, from the side of Switzerland, which is considered the best and in rating, is first quality.
The top has a slight cavity on two directions, horizontal and vertical.

Gitarrenatelier Traudt:
Die folgenden Seiten sollen einen kleinen Einblick in meine Arbeit als Gitarrenbaumeisterin geben. Jedes Instrument wird von mir in Handarbeit gefertigt und stellt ein Einzelstück dar, welches seine eigene “Persönlichkeit“ besitzt.
Es ist nicht meine Art, über meine Instrumente große Worte zu machen. Sie mögen für sich selbst sprechen, zur Freude der Musiker und Zuhörer.
Meine Aufgabe ist es, die Komponenten wie Klangvorstellung, Holzwahl, kunstfertige Verarbeitung und Ästhetik, mit Erfahrung zu einem charaktervollen Instrument zu komponieren.
Der Musiker “öffnet“ das Instrument, haucht ihm Leben ein. So wird das Instrument eine Quelle der Inspiration sein ...
The following pages should give a small look into my work as guitar luthier. Each instrument is built by hand and is a unique instrument which possesses its own "personality".
It is not in my style to use big words to describe my instruments. They may speak for themselves bringing joy for the musician and the listener.
My job is to take the components such as tone expectations, choice of woods, artistic and esthetic touch, together with experience, to compose an instrument of full character.
The musician "opens" the instrument and breathes life into it. Through this act the instrument becomes a well of inspiration ...
