[Profile]
Born in Granada, Spain in 1933. He started out as a furniture craftsman and later entered the workshop of local maker Eduardo Ferrer in 1959 to learn how to make guitars. In 1961 he started his career by opening a collaborative workshop with Manuel Bellido, who he had studied with. After that, he became independent and increased his reputation as a maker. Then, in 1977, a Japanese inventor met Marin with the great French maker Robert Bouchet (1898-1986), and Marin's style changed drastically. This French master is immediately aware of Marin's extraordinary talent, and then goes to Granada himself and invites Marin to France to give personal advice on guitar making. Originally he made guitars with the sound of the Andalusian region, but after meeting Boucher, he pursued a higher level of artistry as an instrument. His guitar, which has reached an extremely high level in both sound and appearance, is currently given the highest evaluation as a true masterpiece representing Granada.
Also, in love with his personality, young talents from all over the world are now gathering in Granada, and an international competition bearing his name is being held. Even now, when he is about 90 years old, he continues to work with his nephew Jose Marin and others. He is one of the best maestro and oldest in the Spanish guitar making world.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of a new guitar by Antonio Marin Montero, one of Spain's oldest guitar makers, whose guitars after meeting French master Robert Bouchet in the late 1970s are basically called Bouchet models. However, this is a shop-original model produced at the request of Aura, with design, materials used, label, and other contents more similar to a Bouchet guitar in design and quality.
Compared to the normal Bouchet model, the overtones are suppressed and the overall sound is more dignified. The dynamics from the weakest to the strongest notes, the sustain of the sound, and the speed of response are unparalleled. The Granada sound is the art of the maestro.
The strings are well balanced, the tension is medium, and the neck angle is set for easy playability. The beautiful finish with shellac surface and the exquisite workmanship give it a graceful appearance that is truly a work of art.
