Mark was a master craftsman and wood worker for years before he set his mind to building fine guitars. He is also a player and aficionado of flamenco. Mark began his apprenticeship with renowned guitar builder and teacher Harry Fleishman quickly becoming his best pupil. On his own he went to the source, Antonio de Torres Jurado (1817-1892), to hone his skills and it was his third instrument modeled after Torres design that became my first Mark Berry guitar. Since then he has been experimenting to find his own voice in the flamenco guitar world and has succeeded admirably. Clarity of tone, balance, volume, ease of playing and beautiful craftsmanship are all hallmarks of Mark Berry guitars. I have no problem recommending them to all my colleagues and students who are ready to graduate to a fine handmade instrument.” — Mark Taylor, Flamenco Guitarist, February 27th 2008 Mark Taylor performs and records on Mark Berry flamenco guitars.
