Stefan Zander

Been there once by chance while looking for a guitar place around Kiel, nice guy, builds his own guitars which seemed neat to me, just don't go there if you're looking for normal guitar brands. He kind of gets offended when you do, but again if you're looking for an acoustic handmade german guitar, definitely give this guy a visit.

Cool

Ok

Stefan Zander is one of the last awake and reflected craftsmen who go to work with the highest quality standards and "with the world". This is not only evident in his own designs, which he has been continuously developing and perfecting for decades. The third-party products that he optimized and repaired also clearly differ from what the usual factories, workshops and specialty shops may leave as "checked and adjusted". For many years Stefan has found the right solution for each of my problems and always gives me patient, detailed and competent advice. I've learned a lot from him.

A few years ago, I stumbled into my guitar shop / workshop with my wife, looking for a new classic guitar. Not only did I go home thanks to the patient and empathetic and personal advice with a guitar that was just right for me, it was also extremely refreshing and enriching to philosophize with Stefan about music, people and other things! An artist who literally brings his own sound philosophy to life in the wood of his instruments, because "lively" and "warm" are the words that first come to mind with his in-house guitars. And it also suits Stefan that you make an appointment in advance to have time to explore your instruments. You can tell that it's not about closing a deal, but about a shared passion for music and finding the type of guitar that suits you. Anyone who shares his passion for tonewoods and the diversity of life is in the right place in Stefan Zander 's shop!
