The 21st century … The era of fast, quick and hectic changes. The period of the internet, social networks, industry 4.0, artificial intelligence and self-driving electric cars … permanent pressure for efficiency and speed… The era, when nowadays factory-made guitars are more like cold machinery products than like musical instruments with spirit and soul of their own … And how about people? Are they happier than few dozen years ago? Who does it know …?
I’m not a kind of man struggling against all these changes, but I still believe in the dutiful craftsmanship and real traditional hand-made luthier’s way of guitar building. And I’ll try to continue in the heritage of almost forgotten knowledge and skills left for us by previous generations …
I am pretty sure – everybody will learn one day, that hundreds or thousands of virtual friends, followers and likes, can’t make him happy. And I hope, at least few of them will find their way to music … and discovering that miracle of vibrant guitar strings producing a pure acoustic sound will bring a joy and happiness …
I am delighted my guitars are appreciated for both – their sound and design too. I still do my best the appearance and craftsmanship will bring a piece of art at the end. And as a father, I am really happy, my son decided to join me and accepted that as his job. If he’ll continue my work, I will proudly say one day: “My art will go on …”
