The guitars made by Paco Santiago Marin (nephew of Antonio Marin) are highly sought-after. Many well-known players including Eliot Fisk, Leo Brouwer, Ricardo Gallén and Marco Tamayo (among others) have played and recorded on these intruments.
Paco Santiago Marin was born in 1945 within a family of guitar makers. Since very young he was closely linked to this art, making guitars his life and passion. Taught by his father, he supplemented his education at the workshop of his uncle, Antonio Marín Montero, regarded by many as a guitar-making eminent professor.
His high technical qualifications and his great musical sensitivity soon allowed him to excel, developing a kind of instrument that stand out for their great projection, balance and colour, attracting many great guitar “maestros” such as Ricardo Gallen, Leo Brouwer, Manuel Gonzalez, Iliana Matos, among others.
His guitars are highly appreciated and valued, especially in the classical field, regarded by performers as being among the best guitars in the world.
