• Comments:

  Romanillos instruments need little introduction of course and those who have ordered one, have a very long time to wait.
  Having been in the hands of a Spanish professional since new, this one has a warm treble sound, deep bass from its between E and F air resonance and very good overall balance. It has been played constantly during the time since it was purchased so has a mature, sweet character.
  A fine instrument and a rare buying opportunity.
