For Beginners to Professionals - Made of Fiber "At Castañuelas Filigrana, we continue to uphold our company's tradition," says Lucía Álvarez Vera, the granddaughter of Manuel Vera Martínez "Filigrana," a castanet artisan, and the third generation. "He invented the fiber for castanets. And from that time, it began to be called 'Filigrana' (meaning delicate filigree work). The castanets he created are called 'Filigrana castanets,' so we decided to brand the name on the inside of the castanets. The Filigrana trademark was registered in 1967, but the name had already been used for many years before that." "Incorporating fiber into the manufacturing of castanets made the striking sound stronger and increased durability, bringing about a major revolution in the history of castanets. He also invented a special method of hollowing out the inside of the castanets, making them easier to sound. (Called a special resonance box) Furthermore, he researched the origins of castanets for 40 years." The Seville Folk Museum displays a corner called "The Old Filigrana Workshop." On the wall are photos of top stars in the flamenco world, including "La Chunga," Carlitos Fernández Villalín, Juanita Reina, Caracolillo, Manuel Vargas, Merche Esmeralda, Pilar López, Lola Flores, Marienma, Gitanillo de Bronce, and Rafael "El Negro."
