The Ermida is a copy of a Stahl Style 6, originally developed and built by the innovative and enigmatic Larson Brothers of Chicago, Illinois. I used an original Stahl from 1929 (graciously loaned by Will Bremmer) and the original patent drawings from 1904, to build the Ermida. It is the epitome of style, grace and refinement, ideal for playing traditional ragtime. It is the only X braced guitar that I offer.
