Daniel Turner, Guitar Maker
In the early 1970’s Daniel Turner was a music student at the Royal Conservatory of Music and the University of Toronto when he decided to travel to Spain for the first time to study the flamenco guitar. During the two years that he lived in Andalusia and Majorca he had the great fortune of being able to learn the basics of traditional Spanish guitar construction from local craftsmen. He has spent many years since then researching the designs and construction techniques of famous Spanish guitar makers from Ramírez, Hernández, and Bernabé to Contreras, Romanillos, and Reyes.
Although he travels almost every year to give seminars and exhibit his instruments in North America, Europe and Asia, he spends most of his time in his workshop and studio on the West coast of Canada where he makes exotic custom-made guitars for players, fine instrument collectors, and Spanish guitar aficionados around the world. Further information about the guitar maker and his instruments is available online in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Chinese. |
