CustomGuitarVideo.com José Romanillos became famous by building the guitars for Classical Guitar Virtuoso Julian Bream. He his one of the last icons in Spanish guitar making tradition. He wrote numerous books about the Spanish guitar and the man who defined the classical guitar as we know it today, Antonio de Torres. We spent a whole week in Següenza, Spain close to Madrid to document his last guitar. In the first part José talks about how to select wood and the validity of old methods. This is right from the workbench. Spanish "Guitar Making" at its best.

  • este agudo, es demasiado agudo.

  • Oye Agudo, se te olvido aquello de la libertad de expresion. Deja que la gente hable en el idioma que mejor le parezca, y tendremos un mundo mejor.

  • i like that clear guitar in the back

  • Oye Agudo ( muy agudo no suenas ) Te da verguenza porque no hablas ingles? o porque? ...what is your actual problem? he reaches in this way millions and millions...

  • @srjagudo Lo que es de vergüenza ajena es que Romanillos tuviera que irse del país, y que gracias a su trabajo y sus méritos, en otro país como U.K. se le reconociera su arte y pudiera ganarse la vida con esta profesión. Gracias a ello, pudo formar allí su familia y por ello habla en inglés. Aún así, ha estado volviendo a Sigüenza y luchando con las miopes autoridades españolas para montar un museo de la guitarra, con escasísimo apoyo oficial. Menos patrioterismo barato y más conocimiento, tío.

  • Gracias Senor Romanillos por contestar algunas de mis preguntas. Many people don't realize that it is very difficult to predict the acoustic behaviour of a guitars even with the current scientific knowledge. While there have certainly been scientific advances in this area, there is still much work to be done before the acoustic characteristics of a particular guitar design can be acurately predicted. It is not so quite easy to do what you do with your hands in a computer.

  • Me da verdadera vergüenza ajena, que un constructor español de guitarras, teniendo una lengua universal como es la española enseñe a construir un instrumento tan universal y español como la guitarra, lo haga en un idioma extranjero.

  • Thank you for this upload. I want to have a copy.

  • GRACIAS MAESTRO.

  • very very nice~~
