Erwin Verdonck, maker of lutes and guitars

The craftmanship needed to turn a rough piece of wood into an object of beauty has always amazed me. For me the worlds of woodworking and music merged together at the age of fourteen, when I came across a plan for the construction of a dulcimer.

My father and I started this 'little' project and finished it beyond expectations.

Over the years I have continued to build and play musical instruments. Taking classical guitar- and lutemaking classes at the Center for musical instrument building in Puurs (Belgium), made me decide to take the leap towards professional lutherie.

​

In my opinion every musician, amateur and professional, should have the opportunity to purchase a gentle playing, hand built instrument. It is for you that I offer my skills and passion to build an instrument to your needs, with the best quality woods, and for a fair price.

Thank you for taking the time to wander through my website.

I truly hope to meet you soon!
