Lutherie, restoration and appraisals
All string instruments
Advice and opinion
since 1963
Lutherie simply means

La construcción de instrumentos de cuerda, o Luthería, es analizada desde épocas remotas por científicos, sabios y eruditos para desentrañar sus misterios, habiéndose llegado a establecer una verdadera metodología del trabajo del Luthier. Quedándose solo en el misterio, ese íntimo proceso psíquico , que representa en el artífice el conseguir que las maderas emitan un sonido de belleza ideal y que trasciende toda posibilidad mecánica elevándose a regiones subconscientes, lugar donde se elaboran todas las grandes creaciones del espíritu ...
