Rowan Carolan resided in the past few years in Nigüelas, the beautiful village where we have our workshop. We became good friends and he frequently visited the workshop.  A little while back I had the pleasure to present him the guitar I made for him which he commissioned after which we recorded this video in the workshop, right where the guitar was made. He masterfully interprets an arrangement by Gary Ryan of the North-American folksong "Shanondoah"

A noble craft like carpentry would be a fine thing to practise. Transforming a piece of wood into something beautiful and useful sounds very wholesome. It was good enough for Jesus, it would be good enough for most; however, it isn’t enough for some folk. People like the Belgian born Johannes T’kindt (27), whose combination of a keen eye, a steady hand, a good ear and a creative flare, has led him to find his niche in lutherie. Recently he was kind enough to answer a few questions for this month’s edition of People in Motion. So, Johannes, what do you do and how did you get started?

"The Belgian flamenco who came to make flamenco guitars"

Interview in the workshop. This video was recorded by my cousin Lukas during his stay in Nigüelas a while back.

A little while back I had the pleasure to receive Alberto Cuellar in the workshop. He brought his recording gear to film an interview about my work.

During a visit of Francisco Mora and Zaida Ballesteros made some recordings with a guitar I built. In this video you can listen to "para mi cuyana" performed with a classical guitar with cedar soundboard and rosewood back and sides.

in july we went to the Ferran Sor festival in Barcelona to exhibit some guitars, see some very good concerts and make some new friends.It's been a pleasure to be part of a festival of such quality in a place beautiful, the municipal conservatory of Barcelona. 

This june 2022 we were exhibiting at the Ronda Guitar Festival.

The process of making a good instrument is rather complex and requires quite some specific tools.
