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.
