Christian Benker Professional model features an artistically shaded amber brown varnish with golden highlights layered on a carefully graduated select spruce top, flamed maple back, sides and neck with crisp workmanship, brilliant clear tone with a bold depth that projects evenly.

Benker is one of the most highly respected luthiers and acoustics research in Germany, having received the Bavarian Distinguished Service Medal, for his decades of service to various committees of the National Association of German Musical Instrument Manufacturers (BDMH). Benker's roles with the association have included that of chairman of the Research Association, a post he held for more than ten years; he also presided over a number of committees.
