The Casa museo “Andrés Segovia” in Linares is shrine to the Segovia legacy and was established in 1995. He left his belongings to the city of Linares when he died and his tomb is there also in the museum. The documents, photographs, instruments and personal effects tell endless stories of a very special life. It is well worth a visit but get a start by visiting the website and the facebook page. I was invited to study the Torres guitar which is housed there but discovered a world of history and music. In terms of guitars alone the legacy is astounding. Two by Hauser, 1950 and 1958, a 1970 Manuel Rodríguez, two rosewood guitars by Marcelo Barbero 1948 and 1951 ( which was damaged beyond repair long before it ever came to Linares), two Ramírez from his later years, the Torres (1883) and there was a romantic era guitar in one of the display cases which I did not get a look at. In my internet searches I have found a few photographs and mention of some of these guitars but I think it is time we made an effort to publicise this great legacy and find a way to hear some of these fantastic guitars in concert. Alberto López Viñan and a small group of volunteers are working hard to promote this legacy and to catalogue photographs and documents and I am pleased to offer any help I can with the instruments. For more about the Torres guitar check back in a few days as I will be sharing more details. My thanks to all those in the photo: Leopoldo Neri, María José Tirado and Alberto López.
