Dieter Hopf Portentosa Grande Furioso – Germany

“The Unsurpassable”, treasured for over thirty years of Dieter Hopf and used over a twelve year period as a “Furioso” by many soloists, has been renewed and reworked once again.

The carbon-reinforced double grid pattern internal bracing of the classical guitar creates a durable body, perfectly balanced throughout the entire tonal range of the classical guitar, and provides a body much lighter and better suited for swiftly played notes and chords.
