Link profile: Manuel Rodríguez & Sons


Category: Start / Great Cities of Spain / Madrid / Shopping / Luthiers
Manuel Rodríguez e Hijos celebrated their centenary in 2005 and, in commemoration, a noteworthy book by Manuel Rodriguez Senior was published called Arte y Oficio de Hacer Guitarras, which I think must be essential reading for anyone interested in the history of guitar making in Spain, and the Escuela de Madrid in particular (even though much of the last thirty or forty pages is, frankly, incomprehensible doggerel). This aside, Manuel Rodriguez is a venerable firm of guitar makers, which has historically had more contact with the flamenco world than other Madrid guitar makers (technically, it is a Toledo firm nowadays, its factory being in that province, but it belongs firmly to the Madrid school).
