Three generations of luthiers in the Antonio de Lorca dynasty in Malaga played a decisive role in the history of the guitar: Antonio de Lorca Garcia (1798 -1870), Antonio de Lorca Pino (1836-1909) who took over from his father in the workshop and died in Malaga in 1909, and Antonio de Lorca Ramirez (1875 - 1929). Their workshop became a kind of musical hub, quite influential as a meeting place for luthiers and guitarists (Antonio de Torres and Julian Arcas both visited there within their careers.). Antonio de Lorca Pino trained his son as well as Juan Galan, Rafael Galan and Francisco Dominguez Valderrama (1883-1957).

The photo of Juan Parga (1843-1899) shows him holding a nine string Antonio de Lorca Pino guitar, this was made in 1889, according to Eusebio Rioja. Juan published Flamenco pieces with dynamics and taught at the Conservatorio de Musica in Malaga until he passed away in 1899. Juan dedicated his Op. 10 "Murcianas" to Antonio de Lorca Pino.
