My story

My professional and musical trajectory began in Ituzaingó, Buenos Aires, Argentina, where, in my adolescence, I studied chemistry while discovering the world of music. During those years, I joined a progressive rock trio, an experience that allowed me, for the first time, to understand the power of creativity. The technical training in chemistry gave me not only academic knowledge, but also a mindset focused on research, precision and exploration. These skills were quickly transferred to the musical field, leading me to a deeper and more formal learning of modern harmony and jazz, genres that captivated me for their complexity and expressive richness.

 

This interest fully manifested in 2014, when I began repairing my students’ guitars. What started as a simple service to improve their instruments quickly sparked in me a fascination for guitar building. The ability to work with wood, respecting its natural character and acoustic properties, to create a personalized guitar, became a passion. Every element of the building process is a search for balance and harmony between materials, technique and design, allowing each guitar to be not only unique in its sound, but also in its personality and character. For me, building an instrument is a way to complete the circle of my relationship with music.

 

Today, my work encompasses various activities in the field of music and lutherie. I maintain instruments such as guitars and pianos. In addition, the manufacture of handcrafted guitars occupies a central place in my practice. This process is much more than a technical activity: it is an art that requires dedication, precision and sensitivity. Each guitar I build is the result of a meticulous process of wood selection, shaping and adjustment, to obtain an instrument that stands out both for its aesthetic beauty and its sound capacity. On the other hand, musical interpretation remains an essential part of my life, allowing me to maintain a direct connection with music and to better understand the needs of the musicians who use my instruments.

 

Training and Experience

 

- 2003 - In Huelva I studied modern harmony and jazz under Professor Antonio Esperón, a fundamental experience for my understanding of musical structure and language. I also received lessons from jazz professor Pedro Bellora, whose teachings gave me a new perspective.

 

- 2014 - My curiosity for the world of instruments was not limited to guitars. I decided to improve my skills in tuning and regulating pianos, training under the supervision of pianist and tuner Franco Botti. This experience allowed me to better understand the internal structure and functioning of pianos, giving me knowledge about the importance of precision and care in maintaining instruments, a skill that I consider essential in my work.

 

- 2016 - I studied at the school of luthier Carlos Juan Busquiel, where I trained in guitar making, covering the fundamental aspects of design, acoustics and woodworking. Under Busquiel's guidance, I acquired essential practical and theoretical knowledge, from the selection of woods to the construction of the body and neck, and how each detail influences the sound and resonance of the instrument. This experience marked a turning point in my career, giving me the tools necessary to start creating high-quality guitars that meet the technical and artistic needs of musicians.

 

My commitment to lutherie and music is reflected in a constant search for excellence in each of the instruments I make. For me, guitar building is an art and a responsibility; each piece I create reflects not only technical knowledge, but also my dedication to authenticity and precision. This commitment is embodied in the creation of unique instruments and in the provision of a personalized and high-quality service, aiming to ensure that each guitar or instrument not only fulfills its musical function, but also inspires those who play it.
