When I went to visit Gerundino in his house in 1993, his workshop was closed, though he still had a small workshop in his attic. I asked him if he would make me a guitar, he said no, I am not taking any more orders, I have only a few guitars upstairs, but they are for professionals and expensive. He had been lame from birth, due to polio, and was going deaf. His wife Josefa, who had a penetrating voice, repeated all my words to him. We spent a great evening, drinking Don Simon and chatting about flamenco. Gerundino retired officially in June1996 at 65 years. (According to the newspaper “Andalucía”, he only made 3 guitars in this year). In October, he fell in casa and broke the femur of his bad leg. In November, Josefa died. After such a horrible year, I doubt if he made any more guitars, though there are more myths and self interested lies than real knowledge. He himself calculated that he had made about 1200 guitars. If anyone really knows the truth, I, for one, would like to know.
