Guitarist, singer and composer Raul Reynoso endorses the Samois D-Hole Paris Swing mandolin.
Raul is one of the pioneers of the Gypsy Jazz movement, and has been nominated "Instrumentalist of the Year" three times by the Western Music Association.
Born in Los Angeles, Raul started playing bluegrass guitar in 1974 and soon acquired the skills that would earn him two California State Flatpicking Guitar championships as well as many Western regional titles.
Today, he is most noted for his expertise on acoustic guitar and mandolin with a mastery of styles ranging from bluegrass and western swing to ‘30s jazz in the tradition of the legendary Django Reinhardt.
Raul first rose to prominence in the band of banjo virtuoso Larry McNeely, and his three-year stint with the band included one recording and two appearances on the Grand Ole Opry. The instrumental and compositional skills displayed on his album, "Royal Street", have solidified his position as one of the world’s greatest guitarists.
Raul has taught privately for over 35 years, and has done workshop and clinics for the last fifteen. He is a mentor at the Booher Family Music Camp, and has done workshops with John Jorgenson for the JazzMasters Workshop.
