Bruunari Guitars Foundation
Bruunari Gypsy Guitar: GY1 and GY2
Description:
An original Bruunari is a handmade instrument and comes in three different types: the Bruunari classical, the Bruunari flamenco and the Bruunari gypsy guitar. This page displays information about the Bruunari gypsy.
If you are interested in buying a new Bruunari guitar you should order it first. I have one Bruunari classical, one Bruunari flamenco, and two Bruunari gypsy guitars in my possession, So, if you live in the Netherlands and are interested, you should contact me for an appointment. If you live outside the Netherlands, the best you can do is check out the video samples for a sound impression.
The price of a new Bruunari guitar ranges between € 1800 en € 2200, primarily depending on the material of your choice.
Below you will find a collection of photo's that display the way I constructed two Bruunari Gypsy guitars and some video samples.
