Roland Gagel - Luthier

	home Gallery workshop contact	In my workshop in Freiburg/FRG I build on individual request high-grade handmade classical guitars, Selmer-style-guitars and arabian lutes (Al'Ud).
	current offers	Since my apprenticeship, completed with trainings in the traditional spanish art of guitarmaking with the famous guitarmaker José Luis Romanillos, I have been engaged in developing and building different styles of classical guitars, gypsy-swing-guitars (Selmer/ Maccaferri-Style) and arabian lutes (oud or al'ud). The direct contact to the musicians is essential for my work, because all instruments are hand-crafted indiviually according to the musical and stylistic wishes and needs of the musicians. All wood that I use for my instruments I select and treat very carefully to ensure the individual beauty in sound and design. The protection of the threatened rainforests is an important interest of my work, so I aim to use wood that is certified according to the standards and criteria of the forest stewardship council ( fsc), which means that this wood comes from an environmentally and socially compiliant forestship. fsc- forest stewardship council www.fsc.org
