Rene Baarslag was born in Heerlen, Holland. He started playing classical guitar in his teens and it was the combination of his love for the classical music and the classical guitar that inspired him to go to Spain in the late 1970's.
He apprenticed with Antonio Marin Montero in Grananda, as well as Robert Bouchet in Normand, France.
Rene has been living and making classical/flamenco guitars for over 40 years in Granada. His wife Ana Espinoza is also a guitar maker. Both make guitars under their own label as well as under both their names when they collaborate making a guitar together.
His guitar poses incredible tone, great dynamics, equilibrium, sustain, quick response, and sweet singing trebles.
