Anton van Daalen , Luthier:
Anton van Daalen attended music school in the seventies and after a four year training in decorative woodworking started building guitars in 1979.
He extended his knowledge by working in several small guitar workshops, with his work culminating in building a Van Zalingen bass for the artist Sting.
In addition to building guitars to order, Anton supervises guitar building courses in his own studio/workshop. For anyone with an interest in the subject this can provide an insight into the mystery of guitar building, as well as your own hand built instrument.

It was dangerous enough that it could have sent its victims to the hospital for tetanus shots. Since it was of no use to anyone I took it downstairs into my laboratory where I conducted an experiment which tool, only a minute or two. I was only twelve. I wound up with a round house swing and smashed it to bits around a lally-colum. It was perhaps the best sound that it ever made. It produced a pile of interesting splinters of spruce and maple and at the same time revealed the inside of this lousy guitar.
