Professional Guitarist
“Dear guitar enthusiasts, not too long ago I had the wonderful opportunity to get to know Duke’s classical guitars. I spent two days in the city of Tübingen and played on 17 different guitars. Among the diverse selection of models, both beginners and professionals can find their suitable guitar here. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the guitars for beginners. As a teacher myself, I know how important it is for a student to start their education with a good instrument. While recording the videos, I also found my favorite - the Duke Meister C. I fell in love with its warm and deep sound. Therefore, I did not return alone, but already with this wonderful instrument.”
