Paulino Bernabe 1976 1a Brazilian/Cedar
A legendary Spanish luthier! Paulino Bernabe was the appointed head of the great team of luthiers working for Jose Ramirez in the 1960’s. In 1970 he established his own workshop and his instruments have been played by many concert artists including the Spanish maestro, Narciso Yepes. They are of the very highest quality and workmanship is meticulous.
The Brazilian rosewood back of this instrument is absolutely stunning. The sound is warm with excellent clarity and the variety of tone colours easily available gives a wonderful expressive quality with great projection.
This particular instrument is completely constructed by the maestro at the height of his powers. The condition is as new with no signs of any playing wear! A rare and remarkable example.
