This guitar was made in Seville in 1859 by Antonio de Torres, who created the design we see today. One special feature of this guitar is the addition of a ‘tornaveu’, a metal piece which enhances the sound. It was acquired in 1916 by Miquel Llobet (1878- 1938), one of the best guitar players of his time. This was his favourite guitar, and he played it extensively throughout his long career.
