The great Spanish luthier Jose Luis Romanillos passed away at the very honorable age of 90.
He will have joined Stradivari in this regard.
I really enjoyed listening to his instruments, including those played by Julian Bream of course.
There is the famous book “Guitars” by Tom and Mary Anne Evans, which was a gold mine for me, particularly when I started out in guitar making but still today, and which contained a most interesting article, with several photos in his studio set up at Julian Bream in Dorset.
Impossible for me to say the exact number of times I scrutinized each of the images and paragraphs of the interview, to best decipher all the information available… at the time a photo was really worth a thousand words…
Congratulations Maestro for your your great achievement. R.I.P.
