Training & Courses

Throughout my 30-year career in acoustic, I have had the opportunity to gain valuable training experience.

In recent years, I have organized seminars about measurements and tuning tecniques for several international guitar-making organizations, and I eventually decided to offer complete training courses on the technique of measurement, analysis, and optimization of the acoustic guitar; the material I have organized over the years allows me to satisfy a wide variety of pedagogical approaches.
