Background

Pavel Gavryushov: A Russian Luthier in Granada

Pavel Gavryushov was born in Russia in 1969. An engineer from the St. Petersburg Shipbuilding University who worked five years at a nuclear power plant, he was also a guitarist, accompanying at the St. Petersburg Songs Theater. He made his first guitar in 2000 under Sergei Rusakov in St. Petersburg, worked in the Moscow workshop of Timophey Tkach, and studied in Granada with Antonio Marín Montero; in 2014 he moved to Granada and set up his own workshop.

Science and the Spanish Tradition

Pavel builds in the Spanish tradition established by Antonio de Torres and developed by the great 20th-century makers, bringing an engineer's knowledge of physics and acoustics to his work. He also runs a school of guitar making in Granada for students from around the world. His guitars are played by Aniello Desiderio and Dmitry Nilov, among others.
