Pablo Sanchez Otero (2018)
[Profile]
Born in 1986 in La Coruña, a beautiful port city in Galicia, northwest Spain. He studied architecture, but was bored by the constant work of drafting at his desk, and gradually became more and more interested in the work that comes from being in direct contact with wood. His deep interest in music and instrument construction became unquenchable, and in 2009 he took a summer course in guitar making with Jean Pierre Sardin in Barcelona, and decided to pursue instrument making as his profession. In the summers of 2010-2012, he attended a course with master craftsman José Luis Romanillos in Sigüença, where he learned to make vihuelas and traditional Spanish guitars. It was a decisive influence for him.
In 2013, he moved to Amberes, Belgium, where he completed a course in instrument restoration at La Escuele Internacional de Luteria de Amberes (ILSA), and began teaching at the same school while developing his own production activities.
Currently, he has moved his workshop to Spain, where he continues to make instruments. The delicate construction that he inherited from his mentor, Romanillos, with its uncompromising attention to detail, stylish design, and appealing tone based on traditional Spanish construction methods, makes him unique among young Spanish craftsmen, and his reputation has been growing worldwide in recent years.
[Description]
Torres model ‛OUIDA'No.23, made in 2018. In the official catalog of Pablo Sanchez Otero, the Torres model is the flagship model of his classical guitars. This piece is built according to the design of the 1888 Torres SE114, but the head shape and rosette design are original to him, giving it a classic yet modern taste in appearance. The sound hole and fingerboard sides have some scratches, but the overall condition is clean.
