Hello everyone! My first post.
While Luigi Embergher is well known for his mandolins, he made a few fine concert guitars. A local luthier is helping me restore a 1928 Luigi Embergher harp guitar. The guitar is a family heirloom that has been in our family for three generations, seen use and abuse (steel strings included!), seen lots of humidity changes, traveled three continents, and is now in intensive care with my luthier friend. IMO he is an artist at restorations and is taking a lot of care to restore the original appearance and playability while preserving its 86 year old patina.
If anyone owns, knows of an owner, or has repaired/restored a Luigi Embergher guitar from the 1920s to the 1930s please post. I want to learn as much as possible about the history/specs for this guitar. I welcome all information you can add. Almost nobody on a classical guitar forum I visit has heard of Embergher. I am hoping to have better luck on this forum where most have heard the name.
Perhaps someone has an Embergher catalog for any year around 1928? I'd like to see the pages describing their guitars.
The best information I could get on this guitar is from the Embergher.com website.
Here is Alex Timmerman playing Sor on a No 5 seven string Embergher "heptacord" guitar.

Thanks,
