Personality of the Week
Artur Paredes10 May, 1899 - 20 December, 1980
In addition to being a genius as Portuguese guitar player and an excellent composer, Artur Paredes gave the Coimbra guitar new sounds, by persistently and systematically researching. This research was backed up by another generation of great makers of Portuguese guitars, the Grácio family, based at Largo de São Martinho, where he commissioned approximately third-two Portuguese guitars.
