Casimiro Lozano Classical 1A RIO 1999

The Spanish luthier Casimiro Lozano Carrillo was born in 1954 in Casasimarro. In 1992, he moved into his current shop. Lozano is a guitar maker who works alone. Since he uses traditional methods, building completely by hand, his production is very limited. He does not believe in innovations for innovations sake. Although he had used various master builder’s plans, once he obtained Ignacio Fleta’s design, he enthusiastically adopted it. Lozano does not, however, make a Fleta copy. Rather, guided by his intuition and experience, he continues to make small improvements, and his classical guitars continue to evolve.  Top: Cedar. Back & Sides: Indian Rosewood.  Ebony fingerboard.
