These individuals will be acknowledged and provided the opportunity to have their instruments showcased on my web site,, which is viewed by players around the globe. So being aware of the difficulty to get a foothold in the market we decided that it would be good to give them a chance to display their work on a world stage. Over the past few years of running the course, Jose and Liam have come across certain luthiers who have impressed them with their knowledge, understanding and superior craftsmanship. What if we could provide a very talented Luthier with an opportunity to be introduced to the guitar world, and in doing so, what if we could provide a platform for them to be considered by players on a global basis, long before they might otherwise be discovered? Yet there was a time when each of these Luthiers was unknown, and struggling to share their ideas with the world. Romanillos, Dammann,Bruck, Humphrey, Ruck, Redgate, Bernabe, Byers and others. Liam was sensitive to the fact that I represent the very finest Luthiers on the Planet.
In this way we could assist an individual with great talent and potential, by introducing them in a manner that would be otherwise difficult to achieve. It was Liam who graciously suggested that he and his father could occasionally select the very finest luthier from their classes, and that I might present this promising Luthier in some way to the guitar world. I am honored that I have been selected as the exclusive US dealer of Romanillos guitars., and during the conversations that led to this partnership, Liam and I discovered that we shared a desire to create a forum for promising Luthiers who one day might represent a future ‘Romanillos’ or “Bouchet” or “Hauser”. From all over the world, they come to learn and to infuse, as if by osmosis, that elemental awareness that joins hands and wood in just the right way so that the flow of music is allowed through the wood and into the experience of the listener. These courses, held in Siguenza, Spain became a magnet for the hearts and minds of many highly promising Luthiers.
Several years ago Jose and Liam made the decision to share their art with any Luthier who was eager to learn, and they began their annual guitar building courses. They embody the very essence of what guitars were created for: translating your innermost emotions directly from your soul into audible sound that can be intimately shared with your audience. Romanillos guitars are provocative, emotional, soulful, some might say ‘flawless’. Together, father and son, Jose and Liam, have built a tradition that has become a benchmark for guitar builders and players the world over. The name alone is iconic in the world of the classical guitar.
