Since a couple of years I'm dealing with the music of the Quintette du Hot Club de France and his legendary guitarist Django Reinhardt. His incomparable and matchless way of playing and the sound of his instrument have fascinated me every time and send me in amazement. I started looking for a guitar like the one of Django,the big search began and is going on and on... I think, most of the Django freaks can tell the same story, looking for the guitar of her dreams with that sound is a never ending story. So I thought it would be pretty nice to have the right equipment for these guitars. A friend of mine had a Stimer S.51 pickup, which didn't work anymore. I'd offered him to repair it. During that work I got the idea to reproduce the pickup as originally as possible with some potential improvements. At the Django Reinhardt memorial 2001 in Augsburg I could present the pickup, now under the brand name Miller, for the first time. The second project to realize should be the tuners. Almost all guitars are equipped with standard tuners, which work perfectly, but doesn't match to these instruments at all. So it was clear to bring out a tuning machine with standard sizes and the right design, matching to your custom made instrument as well as for replacement. Now, in 2004, I have completed the program with tails, volume control for pickups and picks . Iam able to offer now a big range of models to make your guitar looks and sounds perfect! With this site I want to reach all people, friends, musicians and luthiers, which cultivate the tradition of Hot Club Jazz, building guitars and develop them, to get ideas and suggestions and exchange them. If you have any questions or ideas, please send me an e-mail, fax or letter, see contact. I'm glad to answer you.
Rainer Müller Seit einigen Jahren schon befasse ich mich mit der Musik des Hot Club de France und seinem legendären Gitarristen Django Reinhardt. Seine unvergleichliche Spielweise und der Klang seines Instrumentes haben mich noch jedesmal von Neuem fasziniert und in Staunen versetzt. Auf der Suche nach der Gitarre meiner Vorstellung fing dann das grosse Suchen an und es geht weiter und weiter... Und wenn ich mit Freunden und Gleichgesinnten rede, dann bin ich mit meiner Suche in bester Gesellschaft. Ich glaube, es geht Vielen gleich wie mir mit Suchen, Finden, Ausprobieren, Kaufen, Spielen und wieder Verkaufen oder Eintauschen gegen eine noch bessere Gitarre. Im 2004 habe ich das Angebot mit Saitenhalter, Lautstärkeregler für Tonabnehmer und Plektren abgerundet. Das komplette Zubehör- Programm, damit Deine Django- Gitarre perfekt aussieht und tönt!
