Holtier creates a very natural sound using all wood for the honeycomb, CNC’ing the material directly on the thickness of the top !! The holes are then closed with a thin layer of Spruce.
The fact that the lamination does not reach the edges of the top, gives the guitar a more natural, traditional sound.
I did start making this top design since 2003 with small changes during the years.”
Frederich Holtier was born in 1947 in Romania. He began his music studies at the age of eleven, learning to play cello. Later, he attended the Music Conservatory in Bucharest where he graduated with a Master’s degree in music theory and education. It was during his time as a student that he began to learn about the process of instrument building by helping his father build guitars.
He then embarked on a career as a music teacher. After six years of teaching, he decided to change course and enter the field of industrial design.
In 1988, he left Romania, emigrating first to Germany, then to the United States. Since 1995, Frederich has been building classical and flamenco guitars professionally.
He is a self-taught luthier. Despite the difficulties associated with this process, looking back at it now, he cannot imagine having done it any other way. The fact that he neither sought nor received guidance, gave him the freedom to follow his own path, free of myths and misconceptions. Frederich’s combined music and technical experiences give his work a distinguished character sought after by discriminating players.
He is a member of the Guild of American Luthiers (GAL) and has exhibited at the Guitar Foundation of America (GFA) conventions in Charleston, NC, Montreal, Canada, Oberlin, OH. Other festivals include: Healdsburg, CA, Akron, OH, Buffalo, NY, Sinaia, Romania and Acadia, Nova Scotia. *
