He learned a lot from his father, Juan Álvarez Gil (1932-2001), a very respectable
luthier who is a follower of the tradition of the Madrid School of Guitar Making
dating back to Marcelo Barbero who was a disciple of the famous Manuel Ramírez.
Juan makes both flamenco and classical guitars and are hand made using traditional
methods. For more information visit http://www.guitarrasjuanalvarez.com/inicio-guitarras-juan-alvarez.html
I'm very satisfied with this instrument for many reasons but I would like to point out
a few, namely its excellent sound quality (very noticeable on the 3rd string and in the
higher register -most guitars' weak-points), great balance between bass and treble
strings, playability and abundant volume when playing both ppp and fff
