Overview: Antonio Marin Montero is
considered by many professionals to be the premiere Spanish maker of fine
handmade
classical guitars. We have had the honor to represent this
great master for the last twenty-five years. A former protege of the
great French
luthier, Robert Bouchet, Marin's concert guitars are a unique musical
blend of Northern European and Spanish guitar making traditions.
These
wonderful guitars have a deep, earthy, bell like sound; are highly
musical and very precise; and have powerful trebles, midrange and bass,
excellent sustain, balance, and separation, a quick response to a
particularly wide variety of color and attack, and are a dream to play.
Highly
sought after around the world, a new instrument as this one obtained directly from this great master is cause for celebration. (
