We are approaching Marvi's workshop in the Alpujarras Granadinas. To play one of the most important guitarists in Spain, who has a great success nowadays also among great international classical guitarists and flamenco guitarists in Spain.
Given his personality always tending to innovate and create ideas that can work in sound, structure, playability, aesthetics... Andrés Marvi is one of the most interesting guitarists today. His guitars maintain the qualities of the traditional guitar in terms of character, beauty of sound, colours... but he gives them a modern touch with a great power of sound that can be compared with any guitar made in any way, traditional or modern.
I hope you like it.

Javier Campos has varnished thousands of guitars during his career using the traditional French Polish system. Undoubtedly one of the most experienced and important shellac varnishers in the world today.
We are lucky that he has agreed to Madera to do an interview with him at his workshop where he explains his important varnishing work in the process of building a traditional guitar.
He gives us all kinds of clues here to appreciate what a well-made, hand-applied French polish with natural materials (not synthetic) is all about from the beginning of the process to the end.

In Elda, a town on the east coast of Spain, we meet guitar maker Carlos Juan Busquiel where he explains his different traditional guitar models based on Torres, Romanillos and Bouchet and talks about his approach to the guitar as well as explains his construction methods and what he aims to get out of his instruments. A very interesting interview where as always he gives us keys to appreciate a well made guitar.

In this video the guitar maker from Malaga, Pablo Requena, explains in detail everything related to the choice of the different important woods to build a guitar and how to know the quality that is required in them so that the guitar has those superior quality woods so necessary and influential in the sound and final result of a classical or flamenco guitar. The top, sides and back, bridge or the woods used in the fan bracing.
What we have to look at to know that our guitar has a superior quality in terms of its woods.
I hope you like it!
