{"title":"Bernd Martin","description":"Bernd Martin (born 1954 in Stuttgart) is one of the most respected Granada-school luthiers, known for uniting deep Spanish tradition with refined European craftsmanship. After moving to Granada in 1976, he trained under Antonio Durán and José López Bellido and became the first non-Spaniard to establish a workshop in the historic Albayzín. His award-winning guitars are admired for their lyrical depth, rich Spanish character, and exceptional balance. With more than 400 instruments built and a first prize at the Romanillos “Concurso Nacional de Lutheria,” Martin is considered a master of modern Spanish guitar making. Since 2006 he has worked alongside his son Lucas in Sacromonte, continuing a celebrated family legacy.","products":[{"product_id":"bernd-martin-1980","title":"Bernd Martin - 1980","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify\"\u003eBernard Martin was born in 1954 in Stuttgart, Germany.
