Who we are

Liuteria Appino builds, repairs and restores musical instruments since 2006 and It's mainly specialized in double basses and gypsy-jazz guitars.

Any kind of reparation on classical and acoustic guitars, violins and cellos is made as well as bows rehairing. 

Born in 1970, guitarist since I was a child, in 1996 following my passion for musical instruments I enrolled in the "Civica Scuola di Liuteria di Milano" under the guidance of the masters Lorenzo Lippi and Tiziano Rizzi.

After some collaborations with local luthiers I opened my workshop in 2006.
