Luthier Martino Quintavalla designs and realizes stringed musical instruments, particularly mandolins, guitars and ukuleles in his workshop in Bianzone, a small village in Valtellina, Italy.
The instruments are conceived starting from the musicians requirements: timbre, intensity and playability and realized with the skillful use of old and new materials and advanced scientific techniques.
