The Luthier

I make historical plucked instruments and I am currently studying baroque violin making in the International Luthier School of Antwerp (ILSA) in Belgium.

Below you will find information about instruments I made until now.

My aim is to provide musicians with instruments built according to the knowledge derived from the original instruments, and let them create music as it might have sounded in the past.

If you are interested in another model, please write me an email so we can disuss the details.

Instruments

Renaissance Guitar, 1671

Having only four courses, its unique sound and style are a result of using so few of them.

13-course baroque lute after Magno Tieffenbrucker, late 17th c.

Its unique design makes it a very versatile instrument with a wide musical range.
