The Luthier - Yunah Park

In her own words …
”I started studying the guitar at the age of 16 in my hometown of Seoul and realized right away that this instrument would stay with me for the rest of my life. After graduating from the University in Korea, I decided to move to Spain to complete my studies at the "Oscar Esplá" Higher Conservatory of Music in Alicante, where I obtained the Higher Degree under the direction of Nacho Rodes.”

“In Madrid, where I would move later, it was where I learned from the base and in the old-fashioned way the trade of guitar maker with my teacher Ángel Benito Aguado. After a few years of apprenticeship, in which I studied the great Spanish guitar makers of the early 20th century, learned to repair instruments and design plans and templates for new systems, I began to build my own guitars.”

“My guitars are conceived under the idea of ​​a wide sound presence, focused on the needs of concert players of our time, without forgetting the color of those Spanish guitars that captivated me from my first steps in the guitar world. In this way I try to combine the color of classical Spanish guitars, the comfort of the fingerboard, the depth of the bass and the brightness and flexibility of the edge. I am convinced that fidelity to the traditional sound of the Spanish guitar does not have to limit the search for better sound performance on the big stage.”

“My instruments are always made with the best woods, selected with special attention to their aesthetic and elastic qualities and, above all, their sound performance. Every detail of the instrument is handcrafted and personally made by me.”
