Granada to Award Medal to Antonio Marín Montero

Guitar-makers and makers of other instruments are not often in the news and when they are it is often due to the rare talent that one or two have for backroom politicking more than a testament to their professionalism.  Not the case however with Antonio.  November 3rd will see a deserving guitar-maker receive a medal from the Provincial government.  Other recipients include a university professor and a poet.  The ceremony will be held at the Manuel de Falla auditorium and with a little luck it will be an excuse for the guitar-makers of Granada to get out of their workshops.  After all, I am sure that we all feel honoured by the recognition of our craft.  Newspaper article in Spanish

I can’t find a video of Antonio anywhere so here is one of one of his guitars along with other guitars being played.
