The Spanish luthier
Eduardo Duran Ferrer was born in 1965 into one of the most distinguished
families of guitar makers in Granada. His father Antonio Duran, his
grandfather Eduardo Ferrer Castillo, great great uncle Benito Ferrer all
were luthiers. This forth
generation guitar maker apprenticed with his grandfather, Eduardo, and
his father Antonio. Aside from the instruction he received in the family
workshop, he also credits Rafael Moreno Rodriguez as being one of his
teachers. He built his first
guitar in 1987, and continued to work with his father until he
opened his own workshop in 1998. He makes flamenco and classical guitars based on his grandfather's design. They are
small bodied guitars typical of the Granada school, with outstanding quality
of tone, projection, and sustain.
