Johann Georg Stauffer (also Johann Georg Staufer; born January 26, 1778 in Vienna; died 24 January 1853) was an Austrian luthier〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Jahrbücher des kaiserlichen königlichen polytechnischen Institutes in Wien, 4. Band )〕 and the most important Viennese luthier of his time. ==Life== Stauffer was born in the Viennese suburb of Weißgerber, the son of Mathias Stauffer, a labourer from Weyregg am Attersee. He studied under the luthier Franz Geissenhof. In June 1800 he took the Vienna oath of citizenship and in May 1802 he married Josepha Fischer in the Schottenkirche, Vienna. He took over the workshop of Ignaz Christian Bartl.〔Stefan Hackl: ''Die Gitarre in Österreich – Von Abate Costa bis Zykan.'' In: ''Die Wiener Schule des Gitarrenbaus.'' Innsbruck, Wien, Bozen 2011, S. 79.〕 Initially he built instruments modeled after the Italian guitar masters Giovanni Battista Fabricatore and Gaetano Vinaccia, he then developed several variants, typical of his own guitar style (see section ''Instruments''). In 1813/14, he applied for the vacant position of Court Luthier ("Hofgeigenmacher") but Johann Martin Stoss was preferred. From 1830-1836 Stauffer was also active as a music publisher. He devoted more time to his inventions, which is probably the reason for the beginning of his serious financial problems. In 1829 he made representations to the City Council for an advance of 1,000 guilders.〔Helga Haupt: ''Wiener Instrumentenbauer von 1791 bis 1815.'' In: ''Studien zur Musikwissenschaft.'' 1960, S. 120–184.〕 In 1831/32 his financial troubles continued and he was finally arrested for debt. He then worked temporarily in the workshop of his son Johann Anton Stauffer, before settling for a short time in Košice (now in Slovakia). The last period of his life Stauffer spent in Vienna's St. Marx citizens care home, where he could continue to work in a small workshop on his ideas for the guitar and other instruments. There he developed several guitars with completely new concepts (such as guitars with an oval body and double back), which were always labeled "According to the latest acoustic improvement of Johann Georg Stauffer manufactured in Vienna, Landstrasse 572". In 1853 he finally died impoverished, of paralysis of the lungs. Johann Georg Stauffer had three〔Michael Lorenz:("Stauffer Miscellanea" ), Vienna 2014〕 sons: *the pianist Franz Stauffer (March 25, 1803 - after 1846). *the luthier and pianist Johann Anton Stauffer (June 12, 1805 - October 28, 1871), who took over his father's workshop in 1833, but only from 1836 onwards built under his own name. *Alois Stauffer (June 7, 1806 - June 23, 1806) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Johann Georg Stauffer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
