Alastair McNeill is one of the greatest luthiers of the present day. He has now been making for some thirty years and the quality of his meticulous workmanship both from a musical and visual view point are exceptional and commensurate with this experience. His instruments, in very limited production, are in demand internationally and played in concert by professional artists including John Mills.

This model is a replica of a 1925 instrument by the legendary Santos Hernandez that we loaned to Alastair. The sound is focused with great clarity and excellent depth of bass. It possesses wonderful powers of expression and projection.

The guitars of Hermann Hauser took on a new dimension some seventy years ago after he had seen Segovia's famous 1912 Manuel Ramirez, which was constructed by the then foreman of the Ramirez workshop, Santos Hernandez.
