Gabriel D. Coppola was born in 1984 in Buenos Aires. He built his first guitar under the guidance of Ismael Santander and later with the luthier Ramón Rodríguez, with whom he learned the old traditional construction techniques. For years he worked on the repair and restoration of classical guitars. His classical guitar teacher, Damián Ratto, encouraged him to start building instruments.

This guitar is superb, both aesthetically and in sound. It is a personal interpretation of a Santos Hernández model. The craftsmanship is perfect. The woods are first choice, such as the bird's-eye maple for the sides and back (in three parts), with its beautiful shimmering reflections. The sound is clear, vibrant and rich in harmonics. The timbre is warm, woody and beautifully expressive. Its low string setting and responsiveness make it a pleasure to play.
