Paulino Bernabé is regarded as one of
the finest luthiers ever to come out of
Spain. An accomplished guitar player as
well as maker, Bernabé was born in
Madrid on July 2, 1932. At the age of
seventeen, he began to study the classical
guitar with Daniel Fortea, a pupil of
Tárrega. It was during the four years he
spent with Fortea that he developed an
interest in constructing guitars.
In 1954, Bernabé began apprenticing in the Ramírez
workshop, working under the instruction of José
Ramírez III. After fifteen years of working as a luthier
and managing the shop, he left Ramírez to set up his
own workshop in Madrid.
Over the years, Bernabé explored a variety of
techniques including the use of exotic woods as well
as different bracing patterns and construction
methods. Through this research he has developed a
very unique, personal style. His guitars are extremely
powerful, yet elegant and subtle. In particular, the
concert models are widely celebrated and have been
played in the past by such greats as Andrés Segovia,
Narciso Yepes, Norbert Kraft and many others.
In 1974, Paulino Bernabé won the Gold Medal at the
International Crafts Exhibition in Munich, Germany.
He currently lives and works in Madrid, Spain with
his son Paulino Jr.
Paulino Bernabé Especial
Cedar Soundboard/Brazilian Rosewood Back & Sides
Bernabé’s near-top-of-the-line model features select
materials, including a stunning set of aged Brazilian
rosewood. It has wonderful singing trebles with
spectacular overtones and steady, profound basses. The
sides on this model include a double set of Brazilian
rosewood, which increases the thickness. This added
rigidity forces the soundboard to vibrate harder,
producing a more powerful, focused sound. The
resulting extra volume makes this one of the loudest
instruments that we know of. It is therefore very well
suited to the concert artist who wants his entire
audience to hear every note clearly, all the way to the last row.
