Estudiando y descubriendo “La princesa”, guitarra de ensueño construida por el Master Luthier holandés Otto Vowinkel. Interpreto mi transcripción de la Sonata K.9/L413 de Domenico Scarlatti. Desde mi cuarto de hotel, justo frente a la Philharmonie de París. ¡En esta guitarra todo suena como una fantasía! #ottovowinkel

Check out his instagram account where he posted a lot of pictures and video’s of his new instrument: a concert guitar with maple back and sides and a spruce top. I herewith forward one which shows the beautiful bear claw spruce.
