Santos Hernández was born in Madrid in 1873. He is one of the luthiers trained by Manuel Ramirez, with whom he started working around 1905 to replace Enrique Garcia. The famous guitar that Manuel Ramirez gave to Andrés Segovia in 1912 (that he will play until the 30s) was probably built by Santos Ramirez. When Manuel Ramirez died in 1916, Santos continued to work for his widow until 1920. In 1921, Santos opened his own workshop on la Aduana street, in the center of Madrid.

 

This guitar was built in 1922 on the format of the guitar played by Segovia.
