Pali your work is amazing... 'you use the term 'for fun' but it looks pretty serious! haaha mass produced violins too!
just looking at your recent pics. something felt different.... then realised there is no rosette! how come?
Yes, you read that correctly, fun is fun in all parts of the world.
For many years I have worked very very hard dreaming that one day I could dedicate myself to making instruments, regardless of whether I sell them or not, I don't care ........ that day came 4 years ago and now I'm not dreaming is reality.
I was studying to get my degree at the music conservatory and I worked 12 hours a day, I didn't have time for anything, I earned a lot of money and my illusion was to buy a lot of wood and buy an establishment for myself and I got it.
I do not mass-manufacture instruments, I do the work that requires the most effort in series, everything by hand and then I slowly assemble them, enjoying every moment and even more so, I play them all, that is something that not everyone can do.
There are days when I go to my workshop and sit down to look at it. I have, so I take a guitar and play it enjoying its sound and then another and another ..... that afternoon I don't work I just play the guitar, I read the scores of Paco de Lucia, Sabicas, Victor Monge serranito .... ..and when I get tired I play classical which is my thing; Andres Segobia, Albeniz, Tarrega, Leo Brower, Napoleno Cost .......
From time to time a friend or an acquaintance comes and says: Manuel, do you have any good guitars? I answer: Come in, sit down and play for me while I work ....... if he likes it, he takes it away and if he doesn't like it, try another ....... I don't work for money that's over, if he is a student and he needs to lower the price, I don't care
I learned many crafts, very difficult, but none as beautiful as making instruments.
