Manuel de Soto y Solares (1839–1906) was born in Sevilla into a lineage of guitar makers. His father, Manuel de Soto Castañón, and his grandfathers were also accomplished luthiers. Manuel began his career around 1860, establishing his workshop near Antonio de Torres on Cerragería Street. According to the luthier Romanillos, Soto y Solares and Torres maintained professional exchanges, sharing materials and possibly subcontracting work.
The top is German spruce and the back and sides are cypress . The neck and head appear to be mahogany. The tuning machines are probably not original. The guitar was probably converted from pegs. The fingerboard and bridge are rosewood. The tap plate is typical of flamenco guitars made around the turn of the century.
This guitar is part of my personal collection and I would like to find a buyer who will appreciate the quality and sound. There is much available online about Manuel de Soto Y Solares and his guitars.
