I work with Italian spruce from Val di Fiemme, Canadian cedar, rosewood from Southern India and Ceylon. I also have rare stocks of mahogany from Honduras and Brazilian rosewood aged 50 years, which I have to store at ideal levels of warmth and humidity.

I have been moved by an unstoppable passion that gripped me at the age of 16 and never left me: today I still have the same emotional drive as then. I always try to find new ways of improving my guitars. Research is what I love the most about my profession.

It means being able to develop in my instruments the characteristics that allow a musician to fully express themselves: an intense sound, but also handling, an easy and immediate sound emission, balance and support in all registers, volume, sustain and powerful dynamics.

To gain as much experience as possible, by studying all characteristics of the instruments, by viewing the original historical pieces and by participating in guitar festivals, conferences and seminars, while at the same time learning from one or more masters.
