About the luthier
Enrique Sanfeliu (1882, Valencia, Spain) discovered his passion for guitar making as a child, crafting small "toy" guitars for his friends. Inspired by a concert by Francisco Tárrega, he devoted his life to the guitar as both a player and a luthier. Sanfeliu honed his craft in the workshop of Juan Estruch and formed a close friendship with Enrique Garcia, from whom he gained valuable insights into lutherie. His instruments reflect the stylistic influence of Garcia and his esteemed protégé, Francisco Simplicio, featuring ornate marquetry and intricately carved headstocks. Renowned for their exquisite, old-world sound, Sanfeliu’s guitars remain cherished for their unique blend of tradition and artistry.
About the guitar
This 1921 classical guitar is a remarkable piece of guitar history, representing the renowned Barcelona School of Guitar. Originally built with a tailpiece, it was later modified to a traditional bridge system, leaving visible patches on the soundboard from this adjustment. Despite its age, the guitar is in good condition. The top features several repaired cracks, while the sides and back each have one repaired crack. All repairs have been expertly done, ensuring the stability of the instrument, which is fully ready to play. Tonally, it boasts a strong fundamental bass and brilliant, singing trebles reminiscent of the legendary Santos Hernández guitars. This instrument is not only a beautiful work of art with significant historical value but also a superb musical tool for discerning players.
