Sound Pure's Take
Really clear and warm. The notes slide by in perfect harmony. Never overshadowing each other. Always in formation. The grain on the top is so tight you could draw a graph on it. The arched back serves to foreground the rich brown rosewood with it's gentle swirls and dark stripes. There's something truly inspiring about this one. All of a sudden, I'm remembering songs I wrote long ago. All the pieces are falling back together. It must have something to do with the note separation, endless sustain, and effortless playability.

The Cabaret is the perfect blend of traditional classical guitar and an acoustic archtop guitar. Specifically designed to meet the needs of the jazz or fingersytle player, the Cabaret is based on the Herman Hauser I classical guitar design. The Cabaret incorporates traditional classical building methods with the modern innovations necessary for today's jazz and fingerstyle playing. The graceful cutaway facilitates greater access for playing the upper register of the fretboard. Its arched carved back, unique among nylon-string guitars, enhances the lower midrange while aiding in projection. The two-way adjustable truss-rod gives easy access at the headstock for a perfect set-up. Special pickup systems are available for amplification of that beautiful acoustic sound.
Grand Cabaret built in October of 1997
