My first guitar was an Orlando classical that I got as a high school graduation present in '75. I quickly moved on to an electric guitar and didn't really play it much for a while. In recent years, however, I rediscovered what a great guitar it is, and my son now plays it as well. I have used it on several recording projects and it sounds great. I also own an Orlando 5 string banjo and an Orlando mandolin, both of which are great instruments. Both of these were purchased in the mid to late 70's through a music store in southern California. Like everyone else here, I have often wondered about the company that manufactured these but have been unable to find anything about it.
