This post is not about a workshop, even though eventually there is one, but about the story of a family of Luthiers who during WW2 had to flee from Spain to France and then to Argentina, Gamaliel Iacopi (born in Genova) and his son José (born in Spain). tha fact that most triggered me was that during their flee they could only take one guitar to show their craftsmanship and a suitcase with the most essential tools, and with that they could take new orders for classical guitars or other instruments as they fled. i find this story amazing. thanks to Bill Cumpiano for first posting this story in his blog.
