A network for historic guitars and vihuelas

Mystery Guitar.

Hi. This is a delightful little guitar. Stamp below bridge says WALTHARI. Labels for Mittenwald, and Engelbert Wittstadt of Wurtsburg, probably a retailer. Internet info. is confusing; an old harp guitar by this maker is listed, but suggestion is that this guitar dates from the 1950s. Any info. would be appreciated. Many thanks.

My gut feeling says: elegant shape, but not 19th century. You can find a lot through google ("Walthari Gitarre" also try "GEWA gitarre"), though mostly in German.

Yes your are looking at a shop. Maybe worth sending them a photo or a phone call (maybe German spoken)
