Why this project?
This project started with the goal of meeting the increasingly growing curiosity that surrounds the world of lutherie and guitar-making.
I offer a rich and heterogeneous set of learning opportunities, both in terms of content and class length. Inside my workshop, I can only follow a limited number of students so that I guarantee the highest quality of teaching possible.
Learning Agenda
These meetings are specifically thought and arranged in order to welcome all the students who live too far away from my workshop or simply cannot drop here on regular basis (owing to whichever logistical reason).

Let’s make your guitar project together!
How many times have you bought a guitar and thought you would have liked just different? Perhaps with another headstock or a smaller handle?
Would you like to design the instrument you’ve always liked to play?
Are you approaching the world of guitar-making but you haven't found your personal project yet?
I can design your instrument and send you the PDF project (scale 1:1). You put the idea, I will put both my skills and knowledge as to make of your project a successful model: I will personally think of a proper bracing pattern and the related thickness.
In case you won't have the technical skills, the proper space or the right equipment to be able to work, I can even offer you tailor-made classes at a lower price.
If not, I could always build your instrument myself directly for you.
