A professional musician and concert artist myself, I understand the importance of performing on an instrument that not only feels comfortable but also inspires you to play your best. By paying attention to both sound and aesthetics I strive to create a guitar that will please all my senses before anyone else’s. - Antonis Hatzinikolaou
Overview: Winner of the Royal Academy of Music's prestigious Julian Bream Prize, adjudicated by the great maestro himself, Antonis Hatzinikolaou, has, apart from his concert and conservatory teaching duties, spent a number of years researching and perfecting his luthiery skills by designing and constructing fine concert guitars. He has been fortunate to learn his craft next to Greek master guitar makers Nicholas Ioannou (New York) and George Pandelias (Athens). His work has been inspired by the Hermann Hauser I and Robert Bouchet traditions, and influenced by a number of great luthiers of our time such as Dominique Field and Jeffrey R. Elliott. Antonis Hatzinikolaou hand crafts traditional fan braced classical guitars using the finest tonewoods available.
