Here are some more pictures from our visit with Jose Romanillos: Here we are inside the museum. Jose is pointing out a beautiful 250 year old Vihuela de Mano by Francisco Sanguino. It is the one on the right. I believe this is one of Jose's favorites. Attachment: Sanguino 0_edited-1.jpg Here are couple pictures of the front of this instrument. It's incredibly well preserved. Attachment: Sanguino 1_edited-1.jpg Attachment: Sanguino 2_edited-1.jpg Back at Jose's shop, here are a couple of his rosettes for future guitars. I was blown away by the beauty of the second one. As you can see, the motif is the same but the execution is quite different. Attachment: Rosette 2_edited-1.jpg Attachment: Rosette 1_edited-1.jpg Finally, here we are back at Jose's house and he is showing us a draft of his (hopefully) soon to be published book on guitar making.

That 1768 Sanguino is stunning. Here we are in the summer of 2007 examining it at Jose's studio: Attachment: SanguinoJose.jpg Jose's rosettes are indeed lovely too. One important feature is that they are not always symmetrical in their design. |

Jealous, jealous. I tried to convince my kids that Siguenza was an important tourist opportunity when the three of us were on a road trip around the peninsula last year, but they didn't see that it was an essential part of the plan. Closest I got was the fast train from Madrid to Barcelona. |
