Enrique Sanfeliu was born in Valencia in 1882. Even as a child, he showed a talent for woodwork and occupied himself with the construction of small guitars, which he finally gave to other children.
After hearing Francisco Tárrega play at a concert in Valencia, he decided to dedicate his life to the guitar. Not only as a player, but also as a guitar maker.
He initially studied with Manuel Loscos, a pupil of Tárrega, and his studies awakened in him the desire to build his own guitars professionally.
He therefore moved to Barcelona to realize his dream. There he joined took up an apprenticeship with the Estruch Hermanos (a famous dynasty of guitar makers) and at the same time began to visit the workshop of the famous Enrique Garcia to learn from him and his work. Garcia, for his part - although he could easily have refused to teach his art to an apprentice from a competitor's store (Hermanos Estruch), shared his experience with the generosity of a great spirit by advising and instructing the eager Sanfeliu. .
Sanfeliu, for his part, always remained grateful and proud to have received such advice.
This guitar is very interesting and of very high quality.
The sound is great - great depth in every note across the entire register with a gigantic bass and lyrical highs.
She has everything and is very lively and “likeable“ with a lot of charm and personality.
In addition, the sound has a beautiful vintage touch, with lyrical highs and a dark, characterful and almost mystical sound quality.
A fantastic historical guitar with the license to enchant!
