Thank you very much for posting this photos, Marko.
Indeed, it has some resemblances and diferences too. No doubt, they should have been made in one of the many workshops in Germany that supplied stores all over Central Europe.

So I uploaded an album of some new photos of the Gebrúder Gróger.

Hi Rui Namora and thanks for your message. I checked your page and surely there are some similarities between these two guitars though some differences, as well. You have a beautiful guitar with nice sound. Excellent playing!

Nice collection. the Gebrúder Gróger is very similar to my Foetish Fréres (shop label guitar, I suppose). Perhaps it was made the same place. Could you post some photos on this particular guitar, please?

you can see some photos in my EGV page, as well as some videos I recorded with it.

Cheers,

Thanks Rob. I have found these instruments from various places during the last ten years. All are in perfect playing condition. 

Upper row from the left: 1) Unlabeled 9-string guitar, in the style of Guadagnini, probably early 20th century 2) Unlabeled German "floating neck" guitar from Markneukirchen, late 19th century (according to Erik Hofmann, to whom I send some pictures), 3) Terz by Francesco Poggi 1923, 4) Unlabeled Spanish guitar, probably form Valencia, late 19th century, 5) Geatano Guadagnini 1822.

Lower row from the left: 1) A copy of an unlabeled Guadagnini style terz made by a Finnish luthier Juha Repo in 2012 and 2) a Wienese guitar. Its label refers to Gebrúder Gróger, probably early 20th century.
