The craftsman Luthery workshop since 2008

In Castronno, Liuteria Cocopelli is the lutherie workshop specialized in the design, construction and construction of plucked stringed instruments for anyone who wants a one-of-a-kind handcrafted plucked instrument, but also for those who simply need to customize, repair or setup the own plucked instrument

The production and construction of plucked instruments ranges from the early music plucked instruments, including lutes and re-proposing historical reproductions of Baroque and Renaissance mandolins and classical guitars, to the most current and modern instruments such as electric basses, electric guitars and acoustic guitars: historical reproductions are faithfully created according to philological methods, while the construction of each custom musical instrument is studied and built in collaboration with the musician with an eye for technological innovation, design, finishing, choice of hardware and relationship among all aspects and technical details.
