Comments	It is a joy to open a case and find an instrument like this 2012 Andreas Kirmse Classical Guitar. Hand built with a cedar double top, rosewood back and sides with sound port on the upper bass bout, mahogany neck and raised ebony fingerboard, this fine instrument illustrates the high level of current classical guitar construction.Andreas Kirmse was born during 1981 in a small village in East Germany, and since 2003 has focused on building instruments. He’s worked in a number of shops in Europe and under Gregory Byers in California; he now has his own shop in Marseille, in the South of France. (Quite frankly, I can think of many excellent reasons to have a shop in the South of France, starting with it being the South of France).
