JUAN OROZCO: DEALER OR LUTHIER?

for a longer period I've investigated the traces of this originally spanish businessman. Juan Orozco is a Spanish luthier and guitar impressario, who lived in New York from 1965 to 1995, where he had a famous guitar shop in the 1970ies to 1990ies. He is the third in a family of guitar makers (his father, Juan Orozco, built guitars in Spain, Uruguay and Brazil) If you have additional information, please contact me at acakoevoets@kpnmail.nl
