Santos Hernández was born in Madrid in 1873. He was one of the luthiers trained by Manuel Ramírez, with whom he began working around 1905 to replace Enrique Garcia. The famous guitar offered by Manuel Ramírez to Andrés Segovia in 1912 (which he played until the 1930s) was probably built by Santos Hernández. When Manuel Ramírez died in 1916, Santos continued to work for his widow until 1920. In 1921, Santos opened his own workshop in an alley, La Aduana, in the center of Madrid. There’s a reason why the name Santos Hernández has become mythical : his guitars' really unique character. This specificity can be found in this guitar built in 1929, which has a sound of incredible depth and beauty: one wonders by what magical way it is possible to obtain such a result.
