After studying at a cabinetmaking school in Alsace, Jean-Noël Rohé studied at the Newark School of Lutherie in England. When he returned to France in 2001, his encounter with Dominique Field was decisive. In 2004, he was awarded the title of “Meilleur Ouvrier de France.” His work follows in the tradition of French guitar making (Daniel Friederich, Dominique Field). His talent allowed him to quickly bring out the best of this heritage. He rapidly gained international renown and is now recognized as one of the leading figures in contemporary guitar making.
This beautiful guitar was built in 2004 (the year he won his “Meilleur Ouvrier de France” medal) and has the number 13. Its aesthetic is elegant, and the craftsmanship is perfectly done. Its sound and musical qualities demonstrate that Rohé had the capability to reach the highest level right from his very first guitars. The notes are clear, rich in harmonics, and vibrant. There is a perfect balance between a strong sonic presence and a depth that is both lyrical and refined, offering the musician a wide sound palette and great expressive potential. This guitar helps one understand how this talented luthier built his reputation.
