“FASZINATION GITARRE” 23 September 2010 to 30 January 2011 Music Museum, Berlin.
More didactic than “Travelling Guitars”, the 2006 exhibition in Paris (with a bit of everything) and less refined than "Guitars: 4 Centuries of Masterpieces” held in Alessandria (Italy) in 2008, the exhibition “Fascination Guitare” was held for 4 months in Berlin. We thought a review of such a…

This one really is a beauty. Do you maybe have some more information, lets say photos from inside (from the restoration). Tracing of the outline of the body would be also be valuable.

Bonjour Françoise, It was good to hear from you. My apologies for not getting back to you sooner. I have not yet started work on the Grobert. I am not sure how much to repair, and how much to restore. It is the rarest guitar I have had to work on, and I want to make sure I am clear on how to proceed.
Your help has been of great value in helping me identify the guitar, and I want to make sure the work I do is worthy of its quality.
Thank you for your help,
Joel

Bonjour Françoise,
I appreciate the photo that you sent. The brand is there on the underside of the brace, just as it is in your picture. I will send a picture soon.
I am very grateful for your help,

- Thank you for the article and for your information. I do believe that I have a Grobert now. How it came to this country, and made its' way to me is a mystery.
I did not get to the museum you mentioned as I was only in Paris for six days and there was so much I missed. I hope to come back some day and stay much longer.
I sent ten pictures of the guitar. Many of the neck joint and the neck, and one of the maker's stamp on the neck block.
What are the books you have written?
Thank you,
Joel
