Guitar maker Amsterdam
These are photo’s by Dutch photographer Sebastiaan Westerweel. He came to my workshop to make a reportage about craftsmanship. He is a real aficionado of Flamenco as you can see in the picture below which is part of a beautiful series he made for his book Alosno, cuna de Fandango.
Otto Vowinkel is a household name in the classical guitar world; a renowned luthier with customers all over the world.
His instruments are physically light, easy to play, ultra-responsive and very powerful. His guitars have outstanding tonal qualities, evenness in sound colour and a perfect intonation.
Otto blogs about making guitars, guitarists who play his instruments, festivals he visits and ‘his’ guitar series Meesters op de Gitaar. He also writes about guitar maintenance.
