About the luthier
Paco Santiago Marín was born in Granada in 1946. His father, Francisco Santiago Oliva, was a cabinet maker of vocation and taught his son Paco Santiago the delicate art of wood crafting. In 1963 Paco Santiago joined his uncle’s workshop, Antonio Marín Montero, to complete his transition from a cabinet maker to a full-fledged luthier. In 1972 he decided to start his workshop.About the guitar
This beautiful 40-year-old guitar is an exquisite example of Paco Santiago Marin’s craftsmanship, showcasing the maturity and depth that come with age. Rooted in the esteemed Granada school tradition, it embodies the lively trebles and crisp, resonant basses characteristic of this style, creating an enjoyable and expressive playing experience. Despite its age, the guitar is in good condition, with only a well-repaired crack between the bridge and soundhole. Designed as a versatile traditional instrument, this guitar adapts seamlessly to various playing contexts, offering both historical significance and reliable performance.
Otto Rauch is a German guitar maker from the small town of Obermoschel in Rheinland-Pfalz. With over 35 years of experience as a guitar maker, he is one of the German pioneers of double-top construction. After repairing a Matthias Dammann guitar in the early 1990s, Otto Rauch began building doubel-top guitars. At first, he used cedar struts and then a balsa core, a construction he continued to develop over the years. While helping a friend set up his violin making business, Otto Rauch came across the name of the 18th century Venetian violin maker Domenico Montagnana. His cellos are praised for their dark tone, fantastic sound volume and enigmatic construction. As these three attributes reflect Otto’s construction, he adopted the name, and the Domenico Montagnana model was born.
