Link profile: Manuel Contreras II


Category: Start / Great Cities of Spain / Madrid / Shopping / Luthiers
Another highly dstinguished Madrid firm of guitar makers. Manuel Contreras I was a disciple of José Ramirez III, and Manuel Contreras II has carried on the family tradition (he is a guitar maker, like his father, and it was his guitar, not his playing - as I had wrongly written (see Editorial) - that won the competition in Aranjuez which celebrated the centenary of the birth of Joaquin Rodriguez, he of the Concierto de Aranjuez). I must add that, if you do the suggested Madrid Luthiers route, you will find the Contreras shop to be one of its highlights.
