Just a poem

In Granada, where the sun shines bright,
A skilled craftsman, with fingers light,
Takes wood and strings, and with his art,
Crafts an instrument that steals the heart.

Daniel Gil de Avalle is his name,
And guitar-making is his claim to fame,
From a family of musicians, he was bred,
And his passion for lutherie was soon ahead.

Years of study, practice, and apprenticeship,
Led him to create, with a master's grip,
Classical and flamenco guitars of the best,
Renowned for their sound, playability, and finesse.

His new creation, the "Premium" guitar,
Is a sight to behold, a shining star,
From the spruce soundboard to the rosewood frame,
Every detail crafted with passion and acclaim.

Crystal-clear trebles and dark, crisp bass,
A perfect balance for any musical space,
A work of art that sings with life and character,
Crafted with love, care, and a master's fervor.

Daniel Gil de Avalle, a name to revere,
A true artist, with his workshop near,
May his guitars continue to inspire,
And his passion for music never expire.

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.
