<p>Antonio Carlos Garcia was a luthier making guitars and bandurrias active in Madrid circa 1870. This Spanish guitar was made for the English market where according to its label Alban Voigt &amp; Co. was Garcia's exclusive distributor in Great Britain and the colonies. This guitar has a three piece top, back and sides of Brazilian rosewood. What looks like mother-of-pearl inlayed into ebony of the rosette is actually a white metal.&nbsp; The construction of this small Spanish parlor guitar (590mm scale), is unusual in that it makes no use of fan bracing. Despite this, its tone and volume are surprisingly big.</p>
