RAFAEL ROSADO
Rosado guitars have been Lorena Garay's main
instrument both on the concert platform and in recordings for many years.
Rafael Rosado is one of the most prolific guitarmakers of Puerto Rico.
Recently, Mr. Rosado decided to retire from the guitarmaking business to devote
all her time to his other passion, painting. Fortunately, Lorena owns three of his classical guitars: a
full body guitar built in 1995, a cutaway guitar built in 2002, and most
recently, a 29-fret cutaway guitar built in 2005.
