Vicente Carrillo, guitar maker:
Guitars have been built in Casasimarro, a small town in the province of Cuenca, since the XVIII century. One of these shops back then, in year 1,755, was run by my great-great grandfather, but as far as the Carrillo family is concerned, it was Blas Carrillo Alarcón with whom the saga begins constructing guitars in year 1,836, later was his son Vicente Carrillo Lopez, my father Vicente Carrillo Cantos and after his premature death, my mother Gabriela Casas Fornier took over the shop until in year 1,980 when I personally took the helm of the family business.
