March 2020 - For comparison Bert Kwakkel made two identical concert guitars, only the back and sides are different. For one guitar he used Brazilian rosewood, for the other maple. If you are interested, you are welcome to hear the difference as long as they are available. Please, make an appointment.
Armrest for classical guitars
These days, Bert Kwakkel increasingly integrates armrests into his concert guitars. An armrest offers several advantages:
- Sharp angle eliminated for even more playing comfort
- Right arm no longer damps the top
- Right arm slides naturally,
which stimulates playing with tone coloring
There are three types of armrests:
- body height increased

- body height decreased

- unchanged body height

Additional price armrest all types: €525
Armrests can also be fitted afterwards: €625
