Each guitar is the result of a long and intensive building process in which the luthier draws on extensive knowledge and experience to achieve the highest possible quality. For this reason, no more than two guitars are built at the same time, allowing full concentration on every individual detail.

As the sound of a guitar is largely determined by the materials used, only carefully selected, high-quality tonewoods are employed. No prefabricated parts are used at any stage of the construction process.

A guitar is considered complete only when it fully meets strict tonal requirements. These include a clear and open sound, full and round basses, smooth and velvety middle voices, clear and brilliant trebles, a nuanced timbre, strong sustain and immediate responsiveness. Only once these criteria are fulfilled is the instrument finally closed and finished with a traditional shellac polish.

The result is a distinctive, melodious instrument built to professional standards. The work is rooted in the Spanish Granada tradition of guitar making, combining time-tested construction methods with the study of historical instruments, modern acoustic understanding and the musical demands of today’s guitarists.

While firmly grounded in tradition, the workshop remains open to experimentation. Traditional craftsmanship is combined with contemporary methods to further develop the sound of the classical guitar for the future.

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
