Herman Schamp is another frequent visitor to Granada who fell in love with the city a long time ago. This love is obvious throughout his treatment of the city in black and white photographs. The presentation of his book was on Monday at the Reciclaje bookshop and I ran into a few colleagues there. You see part of Herman’s fascination with Granada are the guitar workshops found in Granada. I know he has learned from some of us, bought guitars from others and enjoyed philosophical and practical conversations. Francisco Manuel Díaz was there, his son Francisco, José Luis Vigil, Alberto Cuéllar, Marcus Toscano and a few other people I know. Marcus played a few pieces on his Sobrinos de Esteso 1974. That reminds me of an idea for a post about the importance of quality in guitar-making.
