JOSÉ ROMANILLOS 02 | GOOD and BAD Spruce

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. In the first part José talks about how to select wood and the validity of old methods. This is right from the workbench. Spanish "Guitar Making" at its best.

It makes sense. When you hit the wood, you introduce energy on one side of the wood. Ideally, you want that energy to travel through the entire piece of wood, much as you want the string energy to travel through the entire sound board.
