Luthier Pereiro workshop - Violin making and repair

"Music has to do with the soul and being sensitive to it implies an especially shameful form of barbarism. Music captivates, moves and stirs"

About me...

My first contact with lutherie was through a hurdy-gurdy. It was like that, with a wooden wine box, clouds of dust, and a lot of enthusiasm, I got to work. When I finish "that instrument" (and thanks to an old guitar teacher), I meet the luthier Cesar Arias. Upon discovering that workshop I was captivated, I understood for the first time how wood and music traveled hand in hand in that place.

Being restless by nature, I took a different path and decided to study Sociology, but with lutherie spinning around in my head from time to time. In this way, at the end of that university journey, I jumped into the field of lutherie and made my first shavings with the help of maestro Ramón Casal at the Escola de Artes e Oficios de Vigo (EMAO). At the end of the first year I enrolled at the Basque School of Lutherie in Bilbao (BELE) where I learned for three years from Unai Igartua, Luís Artola, Jabier Guraya and Ander Arroitajauregui; the school opened the doors for me to attend training courses with professionals such as Silvio Levaggi, Michele Dobner, Philip Ihle and Sergio Chanquía among others.

It was here that I met the luthier and friend Carlos Barrós and Blai Sintes (Bilbao) who supported and helped me complementing the school training.

In the last year of studies -and after its completion- I had the opportunity to do work and training stays with Asier de Benito (Valencia), José Catoira (A Coruña), Naiara Maiztegui (Barcelona), Pablo Sanz (Valladolid) and finally thanks to the ERASMUS scholarship I traveled to Cyprus where I had the privilege of training with Stepan Soultanian with whom I settled discipline and work technique.

Currently I have my own workshop in A Coruña where I provide a service to the bowed string musician with professionalism, quality and closeness.
