About Andres Alvarez
creating plucked-strings musical instruments.

Hi there! My name is Andrés. I'm a Venezuelan Luthier from the city of Cumaná. I'm a student of the craft. I make plucked-strings instruments and always look for was to improve my work. I'm a self employed artisan, meaning that my work is more than a passion, it is my way to make ends meet. Unfortunately, Venezuela is a country suffering from several crisis. This makes it incredibly difficult to rely only in making instruments and repairs as a lot of people can barely afford to eat. Your contribution will help me keep my workshop going, improve my craft, get better tools, and create better content. It is my dream to learn how to make several musical instruments and have at least one instrument in every country in the world! With your help, that doesn't sound like a crazy goal!
