Sad news indeed. I have a wonderful negra of his, one of the last he made himself.

I also owned the 'sueno' model. Very flamenco sounding and easy to play. I always regretted selling it.

My wife is from Algodonales, so I got to know him well, though I never had one of his guitars. We used to sit in the sun with a glass of Rioja and he told me lots of things from his life, some of which you could not publish.

He lived a full life and was always happy.

RIP. Very sad news. I own a rather beaten up Gitano and sold a lovely Sueno, which I similarly regret. I also heard a Embrujo of his a while back with the red wax stamp inside which was one of the most mindblowing negras I've heard.

Sad news. My current fixxer-upper project is an old 1982 Bernal so probably passed through his hands A little bit of motivation not to completely bodge the job.
