[Profile]
Born in England in 1941, he studied harpsichord making under Robert Goble. He is known as an intelligent craftsman with a deep knowledge of other instruments and a broad familiarity with European traditions.
He began working as a craftsman in the workshop of David Jose Rubio in 1969, where he was allowed to use the PF stamp as head craftsman (Rubio guitars with the PF stamp are still highly valued by enthusiasts in the second-hand market).
In 1975, he established his own workshop and started making guitars, initially following Rubio's style of construction, but he began to explore the relationship between acoustics and structure from a scientific point of view, and started making guitars with his own unique arrangement of bars. As a result, his guitars are highly refined in tone and acoustics, and have a unique sound with a balanced tone not found in conventional guitars. His guitars were highly acclaimed by many professional guitarists who were particular about acoustic balance, and became one of the best-selling brands in the world at the end of the 20th century.


[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Paul Fischer's alto guitar, No. 905, made in 1995. This guitar is a direct descendant of the high specs of his flagship 'Concervatoire' and 'Virtuoso' guitars. The grade of wood used, the design and detailing, and the acoustic quality and balance make this an extremely well-rounded alto guitar. The transparent and refined tone has a luxurious feel, and its solid sound makes it enjoyable not only for ensemble use but also for solo use. The lacquer coating has some fine weather checks (cracks), but this is a characteristic of lacquer and is a standard condition due to age, so there are no problems with use at all. The soundhole area has a few scratches from playing, and there is a string strike mark under the bridge at the 1st and 2nd string position. The back has a crack near the center, but it has been repaired very carefully and reinforced from the inside, so there is no problem.
