Antonio de Torres (1817 - 1892)

Spain


Antonio de Torres, who was active in southern Spain's Andalucía and Barcelona, is recognized as a highly experimental maker and the pioneer of modern classical guitar making. His craftsmanship led to the creation of various forms of guitars during a transitional period from the romantic guitar to the modern classical guitar, and he serves as a historical reference for the lineage of Spanish guitar makers that followed him.

In "Partita," various instruments that attempt to restore Antonio de Torres' creations have been gathered.
