Ah good point! Although in theory if the label says 1940 then the guitar would have been finished in 41. Hauser always labels at the start of building not at the end. So we can both be right? ;)
@@DerekGripperGuitar Sure, we can both be right. But you are the first person, historically speaking, to call the it the “1941 Hauser I” when referencing this instrument. Luthiers who have made copies of this particular instrument like Simon Ambridge, Gary Sourhwell, and Enrico Bottelli and Julian Bream himself have referenced this guitar as the 1940 Rose Augustine Hermann Hauser I. I’m seriously not being a jerk. I’m just one Bream’s biggest fans… I own several box sets of cds, books and magazines about Bream. Hope to see you in concert one day and afterwards I’ll buy you a beer. Cheers, ~Miguel, Guitar Lessons from Spain 🇪🇸
@@MiguelFerreyraGuitar no you're right it's true. To be honest I don't even know where the number 41 came from. Some deep recess of an unexamined memory. Okay just this once I'll be wrong and you'll be right but you can still buy me a beer. :) I'm still just sad about that guitar, that it's in the Met and not being played. I visited it once and it winked at me. I tried to distract the guards...they were unblinking.
