About me:: I have been building all kinds of guitars since 1972, and have always loved antique instruments, from lutes, vihuelas, vielles, rebecs to early romantic guitars. I have done lots of restoration work on original old guitars and am currently making several Panormo models. Also lots of modern instruments and art pieces, always one of a kind.
