May 2021 - In 1971 at the age of 17 Bert Kwakkel made his first guitar without any machinery. Then he already knew 'I am going to be a guitar maker!' In 2011 his 500th guitar came out of his hands. He is still building beautiful concert guitars with the same passion and precision. His guitars are played worldwide.
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
