ORIGINAL: val

One day come Spring, I might get back to playing. Most of my Flamenco has been played on a classical, but I did buy myself a flamenco guitar (well-used) about 6 years ago from a professional guitarist in London - he was replacing it with something hugely expensive and needed contributions. I don't know anything about different makes etc., but although it's a bit knocked, it sounds and feels OK to me. The label says:

Manuel Ortega Sousa
Constructor
Cardenal Cervantes 6
Sevilla 18 de Enero 1967.

Anyone heard of this guy?
Val


no but seams like he was the teacher of these 2 luthiers:

Andres Dominguez Guerrero
J. A. Pantoja Martín

and he died 1991.

thats mentioned on homepage of zavaletas and acousticguitar forum.

so, could be that you might have a great and expensive guitar there !

here is a part from an interview with Andres Dominguez, which i could find, but my spanish is horrible, but seams like he is speaking about his teacher Manuel Ortega Sousa here and that he (Manuel Ortega Sousa) was a student of Santos Hernandez ?

P: ¿Cómo te pasaste a la construcción?

R: Yo había trabajado en un almacén de maderas y siempre me interesó la ebanistería. Al convivir a diario con una guitarra fue esa la vertiente que me sedujo. Entré como alumno del luthier Manuel Ortega Sousa, discípulo del legendario Santos Hernández. Ortega Sousa era un gran investigador, siempre buscaba innovaciones y mejoras, solía decir que en su vida no había hecho dos guitarras iguales. Aquel formidable artesano trabajaba en el diminuto lavadero de su casa, y como banco de trabajo sencillamente ponía una tabla encima de la pila.
