• Comments:

  Romanillos instruments need little introduction of course and those who have ordered one, have a long time to wait.
  This one is a fine, responsive guitar with a particularly clear, singing treble and very good overall balance. It is set up very well and is therefore comfortable to play. It has been played in the time since it was purchased so is nicely opened but will for sure further develop with more playing.
  A fine instrument and a rare buying opportunity.
