This beautiful guitar was built in the workshop of Marales Y Morales, the successors of Antonio de Torres.
Antonio de Torres is considered the founder of modern guitar making. He was considered an introverted person and did not share most of his knowledge about guitar making with others.
Miguel Moya, however, had a good relationship with Torres and learned from him. He was also the one who finished some of Torres‘ guitars after his death.
Miguel Moya, in turn, had pupils to whom he passed on Torres‘ secrets ... Miguel Gonzales Abad (the father of Juan Miguel Gonzalez Morales) and the Morales brothers.
This wonderful guitar was built by the Morales brothers in 1962 and is in excellent and original condition. The top is made of spruce, back and sides of cypress. All materials are of very high quality. The scale length is 655 mm and the nut width is 52 mm.
The guitar has a great sound: it is appealing in all registers. It has an exquisite tone that is sweet, beautiful and lyrical, but at the same time retains the bite and energy of flamenco: When played melodically, it sings like a human voice, but also awakens with tremendous bite when pushed hard. The strong, bell-like highs are balanced by the big basses, which are full but not booming. As sweet as the tone is, it still has an aggressive response when pushed in the right direction - rasguedos in particular are quite explosive and powerful.
It comes with the original guitar case.
