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.
Who I am
I have always been a curious person and a lover of handmade objects. For this reason I decided to build good musical instruments for myself. This triggered the spark that brought me to lutherie. See more
Philosophy and innovation
The instruments i build feature several innovative elements that are often invisible but can be noticed as soon as the instrument is played. These details come from a long research in musical acoustics and materials engineering. See more
