The guitar arrived today and I am totally enthusiastic and satisfied. Thanks for the great instrument and see you next time! :)

PT 69

18. September 2020

I equipped the PT 69 with a new set of strings. I decided to use a set of 12 Thomastik Jazz Swing Flat Wound.

The interaction of your brilliant sounding guitar with the smooth sound of the flat strings results in a combination that inspires me tonally. Definitely give it a try.

Primera

20. August 2020

The guitar arrived today...and it is a real dream. So powerful and delicate and long lasting melodious sound. I enjoy playing it very much. Beautiful.

Many, many thanks. I am very happy and grateful to have acquired your last 63 Primera.

Guitar

21. July 2020

I would like to thank you and your former apprentice very much for the guitar.

The guitar has a very good playability, optimal saddle width and string action.
Furthermore, the frets have exactly the right dimensions and size. This is very important.

I also really like the sound very much.
Nice bright, but not too bright either. Just right.

The guitar is truly a masterpiece.
It gives me a lot of pleasure!

IQ Tamarind

8. October 2019

A very beautiful, simple but nevertheless extraordinary instrument. Perfect craftsmanship!

Alegra

2. September 2019

Thank you very much for the Alegra, a very wonderful instrument that immediately shows the love for detail. To play on this guitar is an experience. Your guitar can conjure, can tell fairy tales, can sing. It can do everything you could ever wish for. A real enrichment.

The guitar has a sound pattern that is unparalleled. The music becomes something completely new. Touching this guitar is a pleasure in itself. I would like to congratulate you and thank you for building such a wonderful instrument.

Classic Line Pro

11. March 2019

... I bought a guitar from you two weeks ago. Mr. Ortner advised me very nicely. The guitar, with which I am very satisfied, was made by him.
I wanted to bring him a small gift and would like to know if he would be happy about a nice single malt.

Primera

22. December 2018

... I would like to thank you for the wonderful guitar. A good instrument inspires more every day, that's exactly what this guitar does.

Ukulele

21. December 2018

The ukulele arrived yesterday. I have only briefly examined and played it, but so far I can already say: I am 100% satisfied with the instrument - I rarely experience something like this even on high quality instruments. So thank you very much already! I will soon report a bit more about it and probably commission the next one.

IQ Bass

28. September 2018

Great! Really, just terrific and amazing! It was worth the waiting. I could not have imagined last December that I would have had such a positive experience. What a sound, basses all balanced, equally loud! It's a lot of fun to play with.

Yesterday I had my first rehearsal with the IQ-Bass and it got attention with its appearance and actually more when playing and right at the end via the PA. Everyone was enthusiastic about the defined sound and the workmanship.

I would like to send a big thank you to you and actually to everyone who was involved in building the bass.

Primera

6. June 2018

I played the new guitar today for the first time and I am very pleased in every way. Thank you again for your good work. I will be happy to recommend your workshop to anyone, anytime.

28. May 2018

After a few months with my Primera Custom I would not want to miss it anymore!

Thanks again for the great instrument!

Double Fun

6. April 2018

Your Double Fun guitar is absolutely brilliant!

Classic Crossover

25. February 2018

The first concert with my (thank you!!!) new N°1 was a great success! A musician colleague, who knows me for a long time, put it this way: The best Burger ever. Of course he also meant the guitar. More possibilities in dynamics, the sound slightly cross, powerful, loud and also quietly stable with plenty of sustain .. Yesterday Ian Melrose and Kerstin Blodig were with me, also to listen to the guitar. They were also surprised, are pleased and think that it suits me well.

Classic Pro Multiscale

5. February 2018

... the guitar is still a dream come true.

IQ - Jumbo Steel String Guitar

2. February 2018

This was a trip that will give me an infinite number of moving moments! Hour by hour I will grow together with IQ and become familiar with it. It is going to be good!
Thanks for this masterpiece of craftsmanship!

Ambition Fingerstyle

17. September 2017

I still have great fun with the instrument and play it almost every day. I have not regretted buying it for a second.

Estudio 62 cm Scale Length

25. July 2017

... yes, this is the art of craftsmanship ! The guitar I had up until now is a can of ravioli :-) What a sound, what a wood for the top ! Clear, balanced, charming but without sauce, with contours - "wham"- power ... and swing and sing :-), vibrates with musicality, LIVES !!! and revives.

Great !!!!! respect !! Thank you very much

Bass Guitar

1. May 2017

... the bass keeps on inspiring. Wednesday at rehearsal a player who didn't know it yet kept looking at me in amazement. Afterwards I found out that she was totally enthusiastic about this great new sound in the orchestra (and as I said, we always had a double bass guitar, but nothing like this one). This is still a great job. I play it every day over all registers so that the Spruce top can open up its full range of tonal variety, and I think it is getting better and better.

Ambition Parlour

23. February 2017

... thank you very much for the repair of my guitar and the included humidifier. I have just played the guitar very extensively with great pleasure and have the impression that it sounds fuller and more balanced than before your repair. I am also very happy that the soundboard is almost unaffected.

I think it's great that you did this repair as a gesture of goodwill, although the damage may have been caused by my not quite proper handling of this fine instrument. I see that I still have to learn how to handle this fine guitar properly (not only when playing it).

I wish you much joy with your craft and the construction of many more of your so beautiful instruments.

Ambition Jumbo 10 Strings

7. August 2020

... thank you so much for the excellent work on the custom job. Since I picked up the guitar last week, I have been able to work intensively on it. The playability is excellent ... Intonation is also decent, a special piece ... I very much hope that more musicians will be enthusiastic about this instrument.

Evidence

30. November 2020

Every single day I am absolutely happy about my two Evidence guitars ! Thank you for such beautiful instruments !

6-String Classic Bass Fanned Frets

20. December 2020

I am thrilled.
The bass sounds great and plays by itself. I really like playing with the fan frets and it is much easier than on the model with the straight frets that I played at your shop. The bevel on the chest side makes playing very comfortable.

IQ Steel String

16. January 2021

thank you for your wonderful work, the playability of the IQ is very good.

The Legendary Acoustic Bass 6-String

2. February 2021

I've been playing a Taylor AB4 acoustic bass for 21 years and your 6 string is so much better sounding, looking, and better built. I'm really impressed. Thanks for building such a beautiful bass. I'm looking forward to growing old with it.

Thanks again

Ambition Fingerstyle

20. February 2021

It has now been two weeks since I visited you, and I've had plenty of time to explore the guitar.
Playing it is wonderful. The sound is just the way I like it, bright and clear.
In addition, it has a beautiful, noble look with a rosette that changes depending on the light, the sight alone is a pleasure.
Once again, many thanks.

Classic Line I - Lutherie with Dedication

17. April 2021

Yesterday I had the opportunity to take a closer look at your website and your career. I am very enthusiastic about your history as well as your history as well as the philosophy you represent.

One can rightly speak of you as a legend in the luthiers trade!

Through quality and an unclouded view of the essential, you have asserted yourself in a market that is completely dominated by the industrial production, and in which the industry uses all the strategies of advertising psychology to make people forget that instrument making is actually a form of handicraft, which is increasingly being displaced by mass production. You are truly an exception in this respect. In particular, your view, that fun and dedication to something one enjoys doing, is ultimately crucial for success, also corresponds to our experience and our guiding principles, in sport, in culture, and in life in general!

It is therefore a special pleasure for us as an organisation to include your instruments in our collection, to support your handicrafts and the Stoll company with its very likeable employees.

Ambition Core

15. May 2021

The guitar turned out great. It's a real eye-catcher and the sound is just great. What I didn't notice when I played the Ambition in the shop is how strongly the wood transmits the vibration. I can even feel it on my thigh :-)

Classic Crossover

12. July 2021

Thank you for the beautiful instrument.

Crossover Seven String

20. June 2021

Once again I thank you for building me my nylon dream guitar. As I'm sure you've noticed, I've been glued to Instagram like a little boy the last few days, following every step of the way. This is a very special day for me today, you can't even describe this guitar as a product. It's a once in a lifetime event! I will now start to work my way into the seven string and the acoustic character. This will take a few months, but I already feel that with such an incredible instrument here, I will grow into it organically.

30. September 2021

You have built a wonderful guitar. The instrument sounds fantastic and is very easy to play, especially for a 12-string! We are thrilled!

Alegra with Fan Frets

13. December 2021

After being the happy owner of a Stoll Classic Pro Multiscale for three years (and still am), a guitar to die for, I wanted to get another guitar with a brighter sound, slightly narrower fingerboard and a lower string action, the latter admittedly for convenience. After the experience with the Classic Pro, fan frets were the only option. For the woods, I chose the combination with the punch, the powerful tone. That was Laurel for the body and spruce for the top. Then I had to wait for half a year. I own it for three weeks now. Was it worth the wait? It´s so comfortable, it almost plays itself. The string action is much lower. But clanging and buzzing? No way, absolutely clean sound. And the sound? Yes, it's brighter and it's got punch. And the sound? Awesome. The bass is full, velvety and has a long decay. The mids and the highs, I spontaneously thought: like the sound of bells. This richness and the clearness of the sound has once again considerably exceeded my quite not modest expectations. I do not regret my choice of a spruce top, although the master would rather have advised a cedar top. And it is beautiful as well. Everywhere you look, you can see the combination of aesthetics and care, which makes you feel the passion for guitar building. Mr. Stoll, you have given me great pleasure, a pleasure that I can feel every day. Thank you for this masterpiece. In conclusion, what is better than a Stoll guitar? Quite simply, two Stoll guitars.

Bariton Ukulele

19. February 2022

I would like to thank you and Bastian for building this fantastic instrument for me! It is almost unbelievable what you have created here with your knowledge and craftsmanship! This sound! This projection! Amazing! Furthermore, I feel that the instrument blends with my voice better than any other ukulele or tenor guitar I have had the privilege of owning. Consequently, I have parted with all my other stringed instruments (except my Fender Tenor Tele...). However, I will definitely keep " your" baritone ukulele as long as I can still play it. So, if everything goes well, until my last breath.... 😀. I bow in respect to your art!

Ambition Jumbo 12

2. February 2022

Thank you very much for the wonderful guitar. So lucky that you had this used model on sale. I am very pleased with the look and especially the sound. The playability is perfect and always a pleasure.

Home office can be endured well with Stoll guitars.... These two guitars have aged beautifully and are getting better and better, for real. Just like us, right?

Evidence

18. June 2022

it hasn't been that long since I picked up my (! 😊) Evidence and I want to report to you today , how we have been getting on so far.

First of all: yes, you were absolutely right - the guitar is simply wonderful: it is beautifully built, has a wonderful sound and is easy to play for me!

Especially beautiful is the wood (front and back!), the dark body bindings, the very nice soundhole and fingerboard inlays, the Yin/Yang - side soundhole. The overall impression of the instrument is simply beautiful .

The sound is awesome: highs, mid-tones and lows, while picking and also strumming.

And, as I said, the playability is simply a tremendous relief, even if of course every lady shows us again and again, that we first have to practice dealing with her very sensitively and committedly.

In short - I am very happy that I decided to let you built it at the end of my long selection process.

That much for my feedback - I can say that I am very happy about the guitar every day, and I am very grateful to you.

Dear Christian, the guitar is finally here and I must compliment you on the beautiful piece you have assembled.
Initially, it was a little getting used to, but after an hour plucking it was clear that it will never change the owner.
I like it very much / Craftsmanship is top, it´s an beautiful instrument!
I will also positively note this in various forums.

19. March 2023

I almost forgot to thank you again for the reception and the tour of your company on February 9 because I was so happy with my new Stoll guitar. It was a pleasure to meet "Christian Stoll" in person. I was really impressed how much real craftsmanship goes into building a Stoll guitar.

My Stoll PT 69 Custom is an absolute masterpiece of craftsmanship. Every tone is a delight. Simply unique!

Tenor Guitar rosewood-free

5. May 2023

Dear Christian,
I had the first two performances with the tenor guitar yesterday and today and felt very comfortable: sound was great, feedback was under control, feel is great. We played rock and country in trio with drums, bass and vocals.
I am very satisfied.

Alegra Custom

26. July 2023

Yesterday I received the wonderful guitar that you built for me, and I was delighted to spend an hour or two last night, and this morning playing it!

The craftsmanship is exquisite!

The intonation is spot on throughout the fretboard!

The neck profile and fretboard are the very best for my hands that I have ever played. I really like how the heel of the guitar is relatively flat, enabling better access to the upper register of the fretboard.

The guitar has a very unique voice capable of expressing varied dynamics. I’m looking forward to see how the sound evolve as the Spruce top gets played in.

I am absolutely delighted with this guitar!

The guitar is featherweight and an absolute joy to hold and play!

I wish that I had bought this guitar 50 years ago!

Thank you for graciously building this wonderful instrument to my custom specification.

PT 59 Baritone

Repair Head Plate and General Revision Work

6. May 2019

Great job. You have repaired the broken part of the head plate perfectly and the brass plate on the back of the body is neatly recessed. The reworked frets make the instrument sound unusually brilliant for me, and the fact that it now intonates perfectly gives me additional pleasure. The Elixir strings you have mounted are something new for me, they play great and sound pleasantly balanced. If they last as long as promised, I would have a serious alternative to "Ernie Ball".
