Eduardo Francés Bruno – Luthier

About me

ABOUT ME

Passion and Skill in Lutherie.

Member of the Spanish Association of Professional Luthiers and Bow Makers.

Lutherie is both a craft and a science. That’s why I consider myself a craftsman luthier and a field researcher, and I regard my workshop as a ‘Lutherie Studio.’

I have the privilege of combining my love for music with my technical skills to breathe life into beautiful instruments that inspire musicians of all kinds.

I always aim to push the boundaries of creativity and craftsmanship excellence. Each instrument that leaves my workshop is the result of a meticulous process of design and construction, where I strive to capture the essence of the musician who will play it.

I find joy in reproducing historical instruments, but I also enjoy experimenting with new ideas because I believe innovation is the foundation of progress.

However, luthiery is, above all, an art; that’s why I build my instruments and bows with the same passion I bring to playing the violin or singing, with the same concentration and dedication as if I were on stage.

The applause you achieve with an instrument crafted by my hands or that has passed through my workshop is received by me alongside you. That’s why I love my work, as applause, dear musician, is the true nourishment of the artist.

In my artisan workshop located in Béjar, I have the privilege of combining my love for music with my technical skills to bring beautiful instruments to life that inspire musicians.

Eduardo Frances Taller - About Me

Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide variety of musical instruments, including violas da gamba, violins, violas, cellos, and double basses. Each project is unique, and I am passionate about the challenge of creating an instrument that reflects the personality and style of each musician.

In my workshop, I use traditional techniques and high-quality materials to ensure excellence in every instrument I build. I pay attention to the minutest details to ensure that each instrument has a balanced sound, a responsive feel, and exceptional visual beauty.

In addition to instrument construction, I also offer repair and restoration services. I understand how important it is for a musician to have an instrument in optimal condition, so I am committed to providing quality work and effective solutions for any issues that may arise.

MY INSTRUMENTS

Inspired by the principles of classical lutherie and following traditional construction methods, I create my instruments. Paying utmost attention to even the smallest detail, I seek the perfect harmony between acoustics and aesthetics.

MY HISTORICAL BOWS

Each musical era requires a specific interpretative technique. Especially crafted for each period, I make my bows without compromises. Working in a historically informed manner, I base my bows on paintings and other sources that bring me closer to the sensibilities of those times.
