1979 Oskar Graf Classical (consignment) SOLD

Oskar Graf Classical 1979 full front view

Comments	Here we have another fine instrument from the Clarendon, Ontario shop of Oskar Graf. This 1979 Oskar Graf classical has all the standard features – Indian rosewood and figured spruce top with 7-bar fan bracing, mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard. It’s been played over the last three decades and has opened up to produce a lovely, full, warm tone with lots of projection. It has a few marks from use over the years, but structurally there are no problems at all. It’s a wonderful instrument with great response.
