[Profile]
Born in England in 1941, he studied harpsichord making under Robert Goble. He is known as an intelligent craftsman with a deep knowledge of other instruments and a broad familiarity with European traditions.
He began working as a craftsman in the workshop of David Jose Rubio in 1969, where he was allowed to use the PF stamp as head craftsman (Rubio guitars with the PF stamp are still highly valued by enthusiasts in the second-hand market).
In 1975, he established his own workshop and started making guitars, initially following Rubio's style of construction, but he began to explore the relationship between acoustics and structure from a scientific point of view, and started making guitars with his own unique arrangement of bars. As a result, his guitars are highly refined in tone and acoustics, and have a unique sound with a balanced tone not found in conventional guitars. His guitars were highly acclaimed by many professional guitarists who were particular about acoustic balance, and became one of the best-selling brands in the world at the end of the 20th century.

[Description]
This is a 1994 Conservatoire model made by Paul Fischer, 640mm short scale version. Along with the Virtuoso, it is the flagship model of the Conservatoire brand. The most notable feature is its internal construction, which he named the 'TAUT' system, a grid-like arrangement of the bars. The acoustic design attempts to create a uniform sound from bass to treble, with all notes resonating in the same phase. Within this flat acoustic, each sound has a surprising depth and variety, and is highly responsive.
There are no cracks or other major repairs. There are some minor scratches and rub marks around the soundhole and under the bridge, but they are commensurate with the age of the instrument. The lacquer coating is cracked throughout (weather check), but there are no problems with continued use. The strings are made by Rodgers, a high-end Canadian brand.
