Asturian Pipemaker, Alberto F. Velasco

We owe to Alberto Fernández Velasco the revolution of transforming the rustic traditional asturian pipe into a respected musical instrument which deserves to be taken into account in the High Conservatories.../...his name should be pointed out in the history of the asturian traditional culture Nowadays, his hand-made production is focused on the C and natural B asturian pipes, though he counts on his own prototypes of the sharp C, D and flat B instruments, as well as the unique prototype of the Chromatic Asturian Bagpipe.
