The fine tradition of Jose Romanillos is carried on through the ongoing collaboration of father and son. Romanillos guitars by both father and son are among the most desired of instruments. Known for their haunting and romantic sound, owning a Romanillos has been the dream of many fine players. For this reason, Liam’s waiting list stretches out for more than seven years.

The sound qualities of the Romanillos guitars can be enjoyed listening to the numerous recordings, videos and DVDs available. The four instruments played by Julian Bream in the Channel 4 Television series Guitarra, The Guitar in Spain, shown in England in 1985, were made by José and Liam Romanillos. In the recent DVD issued in 2003 Julian Bream stated the finest guitar I have ever had was one which was made by José Romanillos…..a magnificent guitar”. Graham Wade wrote in Classical Music magazine in 1982; “Listening to those recordings (by Julian Bream using a Romanillos guitar) we surely come as close to hearing instrumental perfection as is likely to be found this side of the Pearly Gates”.
