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. This film had been made by the Bournemouth & Poole College of Art. Gourmet Guitars restored and digitalized this old 1980 master-piece. It is an extremely rare film-document, well worth to be preserved for future generations. Presented with explicit permission of the Bournemouth & Poole College. www.thecollege.co.uk

  • does anyone know his address?

  • what happened to his father?

  • Awesome!, someday i'll try to make my own guitar...but it's not going to be the typical wood, if possible. I know the sound might be strange but that's ok because it probably won't turn out that great anyways!

  • This is almost hypnotic!

  • thanks so much for uploading this beautifull little film

  • Jose is a terrific guy and a terrific luthier.Enough said.

  • @simonshusse

    "I would bugger him all day long" ...

    Im not sure Jose is into that sort of thing. ;)

  • For me as well. He is so fast and accurate. Good thing I don't know where he lives I would bugger him all day long with stupid questions and he would wave me of :-)

  • The Teacher at work.

    watching this is one of the best afternoon's of my life

  • Nice method for stringing. Jose proves that one needn't be a player to make a fine instrument. -Also, note that he puts the bridge on and strings before finishing. Bream's "famous" Romanillos only had a preliminary swipe of sealer on it when he took possession it. He played it, unfinished, for a decade.
