Inspired by the work of major 20th century luthiers and in particular by the French artistic tradition, I create classical concert guitars to meet the high standards of todays guitarists. I have focused my work towards the construction of a modern and expressive guitar with a certain thickness and brilliance in the treble response, ample and eloquent basses and with a sustain that projects in the concert hall and envelops the musician.
Rigorously selected by the quality of the cut and their mechanical and musical characteristics; the woods are stocked with great care for several years before they are put to use. During the construction their flexibility, weight and density are measured with a view to control and guide the work with precision.
