Alternatives are possible, including a material known since the beginning of time in the manufacture of musical instruments and whose properties are breathtaking in many respects: Bamboo.
An ecological, renewable and sustainable resource, Bamboo fixes more CO2 during its growth than it will be necessary for its production and its transport, and it creates 30% more oxygen than trees. Upon arrival in my workshop, it remains a neutral or even positive CO2 material! Moreover, its acoustic and mechanical performances (density, stiffness, stability, etc.) are often superior to wood, which makes it a material of choice for guitar making. Finally, innovative technologies allow the manufacture of high quality solid bamboo boards of unbelievable beauty, and the resemblance (according to the colors) with woods such as the Zebrano, the Rosewood of Madagascar or Rio is confusing.

Every adventure begins with a first step. It is not, therefore, for me to impose a dictate or to sweep aside what makes the essence and nobility of our instrument. On the contrary, in view of these evidences, I wanted to create a high-end instrument, using an ancestral material known for its infinite properties and which deserves as much as the finest tropical woods the denomination of “Noble” or “Precious”. It thus offers the choice of a resolutely ethical and responsible alternative, without concession to acoustic and aesthetic qualities of my concert guitars.
