Guitar maker Amsterdam
This is Miguel Angel Cano, looking at my little present for buyers of my instruments, a wooden string winder. Miguel is the owner of Guitarras de Luthier a guitar shop in Madrid which is situated right next to the Conservatory. Miguel started selling my instruments in 2013 but we had never met. Until last week.
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.
