But it really was made by Paul Fischer. You can tell by the hand wrap.

He definitely played a Hauser and Ramanillos but during the 80's he certainly had an Aram (Torres style) guitar. He also played my Brian Cohen 1985 for a few minutes too due to a chance meeting whilst studying at college.

The best Bream's recording has to be with the Rubio.

What, the cricket bat :?: :shock:
I know Paul Fischer worked with David Rubio, but I didn't think he worked with Romanillos.

Never heard of Bream studying with Segovia. In the Life On The Road book he says he was self-taught.

he did not formally study with Segovia. But he probably has attended some lessons by Segovia.

Probably depends on when and where. I recall that back in the late 60s - early 70s he played a guitar by David Rubio. (I think Rubio's shop was then near Oxford. Then again, this is all personal recollection.) English players, at the time, were hard at work creating a proper British presence for an instrument that was still very much almost exclusively associated with Spain. Rubio's guitars were quite unlike their Spanish counterparts - as was the new repertoire the English were contributing.

According to Miles Roberts' Website (Kentguitars) Julian Bream recently also played with guitars from Gerhard Oldiges and Rohan Lowe.

And by Gary Southwell. Bream had Gary to make four or five replicas of his old Herman Hauser guitar.

Bream never needed Segovia's personal instruction; he was an equal in all ways!
Also, Bream did own a Kevin Aram guitar. He recorded with it Llobet's Catalan songs on an
album called, "La Guitarra Romantica". It is of course in the Torres/Hauser tradition.
I auditioned an Aram recently. Pretty good guitar, a bit hard to play though. Bream has
always been such a contributor to the effort having guitars built. He may not keep them
forever, but he has had a knack for getting luthiers "out there" just by trying them out.
