About company
Daniel Gil de Avalle Guitars since 1981. Daniel was born in 1961 and grew up in a large family of ten. His older sister, soprano, and his borther-in-law, orchestra conductor, were a great influence on his taste for music. He started studying violin in the Conservatory of Granada, and then at the Conservatory of Madrid. He is a member of the Granada School of Guitar Makers that traces their lineage of masters back to the XIX century, not only by tradition but also by blood: the members of this school are his fathers, fathers-in-law, uncles, and brothers. In the 1980s he learned to build guitars with Manuel Lopez Bellido, who was his father-in-law, and they worked together for more than 15 years. At present, he has his own workshop, and has become international renowned as a guitar-maker. He is in constant cooperation with national and international projects on guitar making: tradition, research and evolution of guitar making.
