Nous étions un petit groupe, l’ambiance était détendue et conviviale, propice aux apprentissages et à la création. Enzo était très disponible et super soutenant!

J’ai bien aimé l’atelier. Toutes les étapes étaient bien expliquées et cet atelier permet de pouvoir travailler le bois pour créer un bel instrument de musique.

Super atelier. Fascinant. Le professeur transmet l’esprit de la lutherie. Un atelier pour donner vie à son instrument de musique. Expérience quasi spirituelle. Merci
