R. E. Bruné; Luthier.
I began making guitars in 1966 in Dayton Ohio, where I worked out of my house. From 1968-1970 I lived in Mexico City, returning during the summers to build instruments at the Dayton location.
During this time I was studying Anthropology and playing flamenco guitar professionally in various troupes in Mexico and around the U.S. In 1972 I moved to Chicago and worked briefly out of the back of a music store before moving to my present location in 1973.
At that point I gave up any pretensions of being a professional guitarist and dedicated myself full time to lutherie.
Workshop of John Ray. Spanish guitarmaker Granada Spain.
Welcome to my workshop! It is located in the Realejo, one of the most traditional neighbourhoods of Granada, and close to the shops of Antonio Marin Montero, Paco Santiago Marin, Manuel Lopez Bellido and Rolf Eichinger. From the guitar makers in Granada I have learned the traditional spanish techniques, some of which are falling into disuse these days even in Spain. The sound of my guitars has opened up, acquiring a three-dimensional quality and they have become much more responsive instruments, able to meet the demands of any professional musician. At present I make a classical model, a flamenco model and a copy of Antonio de Lorca as well as Antonio de Torres.
Both my classical model as well as my flamenco guitar have developed through close study of great historical guitars. I have had the opportunity to study guitars made by Torres, Barbero, Lorca, Pages and Santos Hernandez. Any great maker must first learn from those who have gone before and then spend years defining a personal style and sound. I find myself in the second part of that journey and it is immensely satisfying especially when my ideas are shown to fit with the needs of great guitarists ...
