JOSÉ ROMANILLOS | Classical GUITAR MAKER - Part 01

[@kaugusta1]

What a fascinating artist. Just beautiful. I just learned of his passing. Rest in peace, Mr. Romanillos. You've inspired me.

[@1777DK]

The sharpness of that scraper is unreal!

[@lorenzodecarbon9914]

Here we see a bit of the key to great tone quality- shaving the soundboard and fan braces, flexing, and tapping, with more shaving interspersed until the ideal tap tone and flexation is acheived. Notice how he was shaving the soundboard between the braces after they were installed and shaped. What a priviledge to watch a master at work.

[@sminhle]

Behind the success of great guitarists (whose guitars are totally hand-made), there lies invaluable, yet silent contribution of guitar builders. God bless you !

[@Aweway]

He's not a maker, He's an Artist.

[@fannyingabout]

Really nice video of a great guitar maker.

[@SuperOlds88]

Best part is he mentions his father.

[@norsangkelsang7939]

Bravo...

[@Adamfront]

You can learn a great deal by watching. Notice for instance how well his scraper removes wood from the sides. Razor sharp.

thank you

[@BassBruce]

Somehow I don't think the Chinese models are made this way

[@gsgleason]

China has been woodworking for thousands of years and has plenty of masters. If someone wanted to pay them and give them the tools and time they absolutely could. However, when production is moved to China, it's usually for cost savings, and when cost savings is the number one priority for a company, the specs are low to begin with. In short, they make it according to specifications of the company. Cheap Chinese products are due to what's ordered, not the skill of the maker.

[@metalorg]

Wicked how he bends the wood for the body by hand. No molds for that guy.

[@keat2869]

World best luthier

[@frankienorthtroptriton4771]

What about Estaban Guitars

[@Dalmato1000]

How does he get the measurement so exact on each cut right?

[@michaelolding7270]

Do you the name of a supplier for that circle cutter you were using in the video? I can't find anything in the States like that. It looks heaving and accurate. Great video! Thanks!

[@seanman22001]

I wonder what's the rolling pin was for

[@carloshenaorequinto]

master de la lutheria don jose romanillos

[@sukadukaku]

Nemothan@ name of composition is " prelude no 1 " by Hector villa lobos ...

[@ClasesDG]

R.I.P. máster.

[@fatbeats101]

whats the rolling pin for?

[@nemothan]

please tell me what's the name of the song in 0:02

[@SomeDudeOnline]

I know it's common for a soundboard to be two bookmatched pieces with the break being vertical but what about horizontal? I've got a piece of wood that I think would make a beautiful soundboard and probably has the right resilience but it's only 11 inches or so tall. So I'm thinking I could just cut two pieces out of it and add the second piece to the bottom. It should match well visually but I'm not sure how that would affect the sound.

[@UkuleleIsle]

Because of the pull of the strings you need the strength to run the long way. I think you'd find it would not be satisfactory. But a Concert sized ukulele might work well.

[@SomeDudeOnline]

Oh I see, thank you.

[@Magic_Battlegrounds]

Splitting the log. Wow.

[@ScorpionGB]

wisdom.

[@fatbeats101]

anyone know what those wire clampy things are?

[@davidsalais3850]

fatbeats101 probably springs from a old mattress

[@behradgorgani]

anybody else noticed the wooden roller at 4:25? I wonder if it has any guitar making purposes?

[@soundpainter2590]

Behrad NG Ha ! He is Likely an amazing cook !

[@jadeivanromanillos992]

can you teach me how to do that

[@laffytaffy1879]

I love it when I don’t see power tools.

[@jeremiahwilson1781]

This is the luthiers "solo".

[@KimCyunHi]

It's Heitor.

[@orestesdd]

Too bad he does not explain what he's doing, or material he's using, nor does he explain the woods or the tools he uses. I would have preferred an instructional video where I can learn something.
