Please, excuse me to post in English. I wouldn't express all that in german. Classicals are intended for nylon strings. With a regular scale length (mensur) nylon strings tension use to be around 40,5 Kg. Strung with light steel strings .011-.047 this will be around 63 Kg, wich is about a 50% more. ...

Hey, thanks Stefan.

So it was used around '20s. My guessings were right then.

Do you have a '20s Otwin catalog!!!??? I'll die for a copy. Do you have scans available? I don't mind paying for it. Just let me know.

Wenn diese Monogramm wurde getragen auf Otwins?

Hey, That's it!!! Jacob Diehl :yahoo: Vielen, Vielen danke. Udo!

Vielen danke, Hannes. I love knowing the origin of my guitars. Your info is really welcome. Stefan, It's a nice floating bridge flat-top. All solid with a really thin spruce top. A great chunky but comfortable neck. It sounds quite good besides the cracks. It really sings. http://aycu31.webshots.com...

Hi Stefan. Yes, I'm from Spain... And the only one I know interested in old european guitars, specially germans. Well, me and my wife, we are just two crazy nuts. Like in any other place, Spanish collectors look at the other coast of the ocean. Not the old Europe. Not special interest in old spanish...

My apologizes to write in english. :pardon: Besteht die Möglichkeit eine Scan-Kopie des Herrnsdorf Kataloges zu bekommen? If posible, I would love a copy too. My email is asacopeich[AT]terra[DOT]es. (One advise, never post directly an email address in any forum to prevent excesive spam). I cannot u...

Don't worry. My german is much worse than your english.

I can understand what you mean quite well. Gruss, Norbert!

Hi all, Please, excuse I'm writing in english, I only know a few words in german for now. I recently bought an old and wasted guitar needing some care and restoration work. It has a label inside with the name Emil Hartung Jun. Erlbach, Vogtland. http://i10.ebayimg.com/06/i/000/c4/a6/e9fe_12.JPG Any ...

Thank you too.
