Hearing a guitar for the first time in the hands of a great player is a wonderful thing for a guitar-maker but if we are lucky enough to follow the evolution of the instrument and the player there might well be other milestones.  The first time on stage is a thrill too.  This was taken at the international debut of Lorenzo Palomo’s symphony “Córdoba” and the guitar is spruce and indian rosewood as perhaps is obvious.  The guitar was played without amplification and did just fine so “who needs a double top or lattice bracing?”
