TAKEO SATO
Takeo Sato began performing internationally at age 12 and won first prize at the International Guitar Contest Bath in England at just 14, later studying with renowned professors across Europe and graduating with honors. He has released multiple albums, published transcriptions, appeared on TV and radio, and teaches guitar at the Leopold Mozart Centre in Augsburg and the State Conservatory of Vorarlberg. As founder of the International Guitar Festival Augsburg, he continues to shape the guitar scene while performing on a master instrument built by his father, luthier Kazuo Sato.
It takes about a decade to develop a really beautiful tone on a classical guitar. That’s why I put my trust in Hughes & Kettner‘s era 1: It‘s the most natural sounding acoustic amp I‘ve ever played.
