Maestro Antonio Marín Montero almost doesn’t warrant an introduction. He is one of the legends of classical guitar lutherie. In 1977, wanting to perfect his craft further, he journeyed to Paris. The purpose of his trip to France was to meet the respected and influential luthier, Robert Bouchet, where he would learn and expand his craft from this great master. It would have been hard to imagine at the time that this was to have an unimaginable impact and be the beginning of a new guitar making tradition, the “Granada School.” Antonio’s enduring friendship with Bouchet was to last until Bouchet’s death in 1986.
