Andreas Kirmse balsa DT No 102 2025 – Germany
Double-tables are all the rage among concert guitarists. To those who criticize some DTs for having a slightly typical, unnatural sound, Andreas Kirmse’s balsa DTs offer crystal-clear, pure tones that come close to those of Hauser or Friederich. In short, pure beauty!
We first encountered Andreas Kirmse’s guitars when we met guitar virtuoso Tal Hurwitz. Tal Hurwitz plays a guitar by Andreas and a Daniel Friederich. Power and sonic beauty are the hallmarks of Andreas’s guitars.
Andreas Kirmse is based in Leipzig, and his balsa double-tops incorporate elements of the German double-top school and American lutherie – notably from the great luthier Gregory Byers. Power and sonic beauty are the hallmarks of Andreas’s guitars. His double-tops are among the great German DTs, in the same league as those by Matthias Dammann, Gernot Wagner and Dennis Tolz, but with a more natural but just as powerful colour.
This guitar by Andreas Kirmse is quite different from the German double-tables. Here the sound colour is resolutely traditional, and it’s impossible to tell on first hearing that this is a double-table. The sound is reminiscent of the great German guitars, with powerful lows and crystal-clear highs. A certain clarity allows this guitar to carry its voice into very large spaces. The tuning is exceptional and the craftsmanship delicate. The balsa core brings a natural tone colour.
We are honoured to list Andreas Kirmse’s guitars alongside those of Martin Blackwell, Glenn Canin, Reza Safavian, Dennis Tolz,…
