I used a marvelously bookmatched Tiger set that had a tap tone that promised to transform into a one in million concert guitar. It kept its promise. Her beauty is beyond the realm of words. The Black swirly stripes against the lighter color shades of browns and deep yellows create the effect of the feline fur to perfection. You will find yourself admiring her for long stretches of time because she's full of the most amazing luthery details created using marquetry and different species of wood in the most artistic and skillful manner. I used Thai Amboina Burl to make the rosette by hand and decorate the Macassar Ebony bridge. I used Tiger striped Macassar Ebony for the fingerboard and bridge, Brazilian rosewood buttons on the gold plated tuners... Playing her is the next best thing to looking at her. She's powerful and sweet at the same time. Cavatina could flow smoothly and the guitar responded to minimum changes in the right hand immediately. Her tone is perfect and the equilibrium of the voices is simply put amazing! She is easy to play thanks to the slim neck that I build on all my guitars.  I could play through the tricky sequence of bars on the higher positions with amazing ease... She is the type of instrument that you never get tired of playing.

The 9 braces Hauser fan is the most thoroughly tested fan brace setup on the planet. It is the result of many years of experimenting. It is braced on Torres 4 fan brace design. The braces act as sound vibrations highways...they carry the vibration of each string to a specific spot on the soundboard. If you put your fingers on the soundboard as you play the 6th string for instance, you will feel the upper portion of the top vibrate with more power than the rest of the top.  You will be able to feel this vibrations with your fingertips all the way to the 4th strings. It is harder to feel the vibration caused by the treble strings. The variations on the 9 braces fan is enormous. Luthier taylor each fan to achieve a specific sound and match the instrument with the rest of the woods used in the construction. Above to the left is a 9 braces all Spruce fan. I often use a mixture of Cedar, Spruce and Mahogany to match different wood combinations.
