Bio

I born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, 1966.
With a muscial and technic background, I started building a flamenco guitar for my own, with Rodolfo Cucculleli´s guide.
What started as a hobby, was evolutioning in my main activity.
Today all my efforts are dedicate to lutherie and guitars.

I participated, as a special guest, for several radio programs dedicated to the classical guitar, and radio announcer. ("Algo de Guitarra" and "Guitarra a la carta").

The activity for spread out the guitar and lutherie always took and take an important place on my schedule, working as an educator, (ad honorem) advising lutherie schools, free seminars in conservatories, universities, national and international tuition.

Actually I´m working on a guide book for guitar players and builders.

Today I´m still living in Buenos Aires with my wife Mariana and my daugther Martina.

Gratitudes:

To my parents, to Rodolfo Cucculelli, for teaching me the beautiful art of lutherie, to my family, Mariana and Martina, for their patience, to all who, in certain way, been my disciples, and meanwhile I was trying to show some knowledge, they support my several changes opinion about lutherie and guitars: understand I was learning and I will go on learning with you, today as colleagues, to Viviana Güera and Fabian Quero, por their appraise value in my workshop, today both independent and outstanding luthiers, to all guitarists who made me think with their severals requests and contribution, to Benjamín Hachuel por all his data contribution and his friendship, and finally, to all my customers, that without their valuable "contribution" wouldn´t be possible my exclusively dedication to this beautiful activity, I tried to put on each instrument I give, the same passion, and the same knowledge ...

¡¡¡ Thanks a lot !!!
