Hanika, established in Baiersdorf since 1953, is renowned for the quality of its instruments. The luthier Armin Hanika took over the company from his father in 1993. This "Natural Torres" model is in the "Professional Line". The level of construction and the finitions are of excellent craftsmanship as shown by the choice of Alessi's tuners. The woods are of the best choice: Spruce for the top, Indian rosewood for the back and sides, three-layer head veneer (rosewood, maple, macassar). Soundwise, it is a powerful and well-balanced instrument with a reactive response and good sustain, the notes are dense and clear, the polyphony is precise with well separated distinct voices.
