Armin Hanika - 8 PRO

At HANIKA craftsmanship is understood as custom work and sound as art. A guitar from the famous Baiersdorf manufacture is a symbol of quality and craftsmanship tradition. Since 1953 it has been the basis for the success story of the company, combined with trend-setting innovations. Master plucked instrument maker Armin Hanika took over the company from his father in 1993 and has been building classical guitars of outstanding quality ever since. Immerse yourself in the exquisite beauty of the 8-Pro, a guitar of excellent quality, crafted from carefully selected East Indian rosewood for the body and sides, as well as premium spruce wood for the top. This meticulous combination of rosewood and spruce – the world’s preferred tonewoods for guitars – guarantees a powerful attack and full sound in this model. Additionally, two extra strings enrich the sonic diversity with particularly deep bass tones. By default, we tune your guitar to contra A, C, E, A, D, g, h, e´, while the slightly reduced spacing ensures comfortable playability. A matte lacquered surface, designed with closed pores, optimizes the sound and adds an elegant visual aspect. The 8-Pro is made of solid tonewoods and equipped with high-quality Rubner mechanics, distinguished by ebony buttons and precisely milled holes. Other quality features include the Cedro neck, consistently reinforced with Grenadilla, a Grenadilla fingerboard, and a bridge saddle made of hard bone material. The tonal power of the 8-Pro is underlined by a dome-shaped top with symmetric 7-fold Torres bracing, which ensures both outstanding sound and a rich selection of tonal colors, while at the same time increasing the stability of the instrument. With the 8-Pro, you invest in an instrument of unparalleled quality, where every detail is geared towards optimal musical performance. Allow the versatility of the 8-Pro to inspire you and enrich your musical universe.
