Musical Instruments
Construction of string musical instruments, mainly my vocation to dedicate myself to crafts such as the luthier modality emerged in 2014 when I started playing the timple, which is a traditional instrument from the Canary Islands and that timple that we bought was of low quality and then I decided to take a course for construction of timples in the Villa de Teguise “Lanzarote which was made for people of legal age and I was still a minor and in the end the teacher who gave the course accepted me and I did a timple for a year and the following year I continued with the same course and did my second timple and from then on I set up a small workshop at home with very basic tools and made my own timples with different woods and shapes, innovating a bit about acoustics and forms of nature, in 2018 at the When I was of legal age, I obtained the craftsman’s card from the Island of Lanzarote and from then until now I have been building musical instruments, mainly female timples. os “Lanzarote” although I have also built ukuleles and an electro-acoustic bass.
