I started as a classical guitar maker in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1982, inspired by the luthier Pedro Malossetti who taught me in his workshop the first steps of construction, and opened me the doors to this passionate profession which became an endless source of discoveries.

I also studied an orderly approach to the building technique with the guitar maker Héctor Curto who showed me the meaning of each element in a guitar.

Since then and forever onwards, I have continued in an autodidactic way. I made at first a great variety of modern guitars, such as the electroacoustic, the multistringed, the electric and the archtop, and even carried out some experimental instruments. I have concentrated my efforts on these guitars for quite a long time, mastering a large number of the very different techniques of modern guitar making.

Nurtured by this experience, I entered the world of classic guitar making exclusively, aiming at the upmost development of a guitar’s potential without losing the sound quality and aesthetics that, by definition, belong to the classical guitar.

As the classical guitar is an instrument in constant development, aside from  my annual production, I carry out research on new structures and new materials. This adds understanding to the complex mechanisms of guitar production.

I became, and remain today, surrounded by clients and friends who, besides accompanying me with their music, contribute to my chosen path by trying my guitars and giving their professional viewpoints. The French guitar maker Dominique Field, with his keen perception and rich experience, coaches me as I strive to create the best possible guitars. All my gratitude to Giampiero Trezzini who has organised this site, and many thanks to Jennifer Fee who revised the English translation.
