Piano and grand piano tuning – precision, passion, perfect sound
At our workshop, we create unique instruments from scratch, starting from raw, unprocessed wood. Each instrument is carefully crafted from seasoned resonant wood, guaranteeing excellent acoustic properties and durability. We combine traditional woodworking techniques with modern, innovative technical solutions to create guitars that are both sonically and visually impressive.
When designing our instruments, we draw inspiration from luthiery masters such as Dan Erlewine, Leo Fender, George Fullerton, František Furch, and Kazuo Yairi. We reference the classic designs of American and European luthiers, creating guitars that blend tradition with modernity.
Each instrument is unique, tailored to the individual needs and expectations of the client, making it not just a musical tool but also an expression of the owner’s passion and personality.

Ukulele building workshops for kids – creative fun and unforgettable learning
We invite you to our unique ukulele building workshops designed specifically for children! This is not only an opportunity to develop manual and technical skills, but also a wonderful journey into the world of music and creativity. In our classes, children will learn how to independently construct an instrument that will become their perfect tool for further musical education. They will also learn basic chords and simple melodies, so they can start playing on their very own handmade instrument right away.
The workshops are also an excellent way to enjoy a digital detox – we disconnect from screens and focus on hands-on work, developing patience, precision, and technical abilities. Under the guidance of an experienced musician, children will go through the entire building process, from preparing the parts and assembling the ukulele, to playing the first sounds from their self-made instrument.
These classes will not only introduce the youngest to the world of music but also inspire them to further develop their talents and interests. The finished ukulele will not only be a great educational tool but also a symbol of their own skills and achievements.

My artistic career is closely linked with African, jazz, blues, and electronic music, which continue to inspire my musical explorations.
