I don’t have this blog open to comments because I am sure I wouldn’t find the time to approve them before they go up (you know, spam). However, I do get some feedback by email and facebook, here are two messages about the last post. I’ll have to take more care to get my information first-hand in the future. Here is the webpage for the Romanillos museum.
Thanks for your post. I agree it is a real shame that the craddle of the guitar does not have a true museum.
Just to let you know that I visited the Siguenza- Casa del Doncel museum on May the 28th, and it is open, and I had the opportunity to meet Romanillos himself.
There has been budgetary restrictions, and now the exhibite only has 8 of the 16 guitars/vihuelas previous exposed. Romanillos had to take them back…
He commented that it is giving him and his wife a lot of trouble as both city halls, Siguenza and Guadalajara don’t care much about it.
The Santos Hernandez workshop reconstruction is there. If it is going to close in the near future, they didn’t say.
