Welcome


My guitars are handcrafted according to traditional Spanish method.  Wood has been stored for years, the  top wood comes from the Bernese Oberland. Connections are mainly made with hide glue.  Each guitar is hand-finished using a complex process using wax-free shellac.

Sound


General comments on the recordings


No recording can faithfully reproduce the sound of a musical instrument. However, it can at least give you an idea of the real instrument. I use two AKG C 460 B/CK 61 uls microphones.


I also recommend using good headphones or a good stereo system to evaluate the sound.

About me

Until 2017, I built archtop guitars in my free time.


From 2017 onwards I was able to work with the master guitar maker Tobias Braun to learn the traditional technique of classical guitar making.


In the summer of 2018, I became self-employed.
