The name Paulino Bernabe is one of the most renowned names in spanish guitar making. The father (1932 - 2007) worked with José Ramirez in the 50s and 60s before opening his own workshop in 1969. The son, born in 1960, grew up in this workshop. He built his first guitar at the age of 17 and was to immerse himself in his father's work for about thirty years. The incredible qualities of this "Concierto Model" guitar show that Paulino Bernabé Jr. has preserved this Madrid heritage in a remarkable way.
The lutherie work is of excellent workmanship and the woods are of first choice. Soundwise, it is a very powerful instrument, the basses are round and full, the trebles are clear, singing and colorful, the timbre is expressive and rich. The sound projection, the balance, the dynamics, the precise and well-defined voices and the ease of playing make it an excellent concert guitar.
