Oops, something went wrong.
All the way from the Netherlands this message.
I was studying classical guitar at the end of the seventies and at that moment Orozco as a brand was introduced at the conservatory.
Good instruments that rivaled the spanisch guitar
builders of that time.
And a lot cheaper (half the price!)
I know there is a site where you can download all kinds of catalogues (americain site!) and
though Orozco is not mentioned directly they
do have a catalogue of these instruments and
prices of that time. Kohno seemed to have worked for the Takamine factories at that time.
I had contact with the Masaru Kohno site but they
claim to have never produced any model for Orozco. Look at Trilogy guitars for the model 8, 10 and 15 from the same time. Very comparable!
Last year I obtained a model 10 Orozco 1979 and
that was really great. Though I hace a lot of guitars this one's my baby!
And that includes my J. Ramirez 1974 clase 1a!
Have lot's of fun with it and maybe someday we'll
know more, Best Wishes, Noud
