[Profile]
Born in England in 1949. Originally started as a guitar repair and restoration craftsman, he had the opportunity to actually inspect the construction of many famous instruments by M. Ramirez, D. Esteso, Hauser I, Arcángel Fernández, J.L. Romanillos, and others. Since 1991, when he moved his workshop to his current location in North Devon, England, he has limited his work to Torres and Hauser models. Since then, his guitars have been finished with an oil finish, which gives the wood a soft texture and a natural, woody sound that can only be achieved with a thin coating. While the tone is not flamboyant, it is a wonderful piece of work that strips away extraneous elements and aims for perfect congruence with the fingers of the player.
It is also famous as Julian Bream's favorite guitar, and two guitars made in the late 1980s were used for concerts and recordings.

[Description]
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Kevin Allam's Torres model ‛SERAFINA‛ made in 1997. This is a Torres model that is not only highly finished, but also has the elements of Torres extracted with Aram's unique sensibility and deep insight, and then combined with modernity. The woody sound is not too dry, and the clear fundamental tone with a subtle echo is pleasant to listen to. There is a natural sense of unity from the bass to the treble.
The paint has been applied in a thin oil finish since around 2000, but this piece is entirely finished in shellac, which has become darker due to the natural changes that occur over time. The spruce of the sound board and the Latin American rosewood of the back and sides were selected for their high quality and photogenic appearance. The visual appeal, coupled with the slightly smaller body, easy-to-play neck setup, and moderately low string tension, make this a brand that has many female users.
There are no cracks or other repairs, but the fingerboard and frets have been replaced. There are large and small play marks, dents, and rub marks all over the body due to the fact that the guitar has been played very well. This is a flagship model by a master craftsman who currently represents England.
