The workshop
I feel at home in my workshop…
This is where I build, repair, adjust my instruments and receive my clients.
This is where I met the musicians who allowed me to discover the full potential of my role thanks to the confidence they placed in me.
It’s also a place where strange things sometimes happen…
But these are the secrets of the craft !
The wood
It is a key part of the workshop and yet musicians do not always get to see it.
Spruce, maple, ebony…
Wood has an intelligence of its own and amazing qualities if one is able to listen to it and treat it with respect while understanding its strengths and weaknesses. The more I work with wood, the more I am surprised by its elasticity, its solidity, its reactive qualities and its capacity for sound.
I use wood which has dried naturally over 15 years.
