This website is rather like life.
It is a journey through a career. It looks back over the past, the history, the experiences, and it also looks forward to the future - that exciting new place that exists only in the imagination. It is partly a reference work for those who have enquiring minds. Finally, it is an acknowledgement of my many customers around the world and a huge "thank you" to them all for their generous enthusiasm for my work over the last twenty-five years. Without them, none of this would have been possible.
R. E. Bruné; Luthier.
I began making guitars in 1966 in Dayton Ohio, where I worked out of my house. From 1968-1970 I lived in Mexico City, returning during the summers to build instruments at the Dayton location.
During this time I was studying Anthropology and playing flamenco guitar professionally in various troupes in Mexico and around the U.S. In 1972 I moved to Chicago and worked briefly out of the back of a music store before moving to my present location in 1973.
At that point I gave up any pretensions of being a professional guitarist and dedicated myself full time to lutherie.
