Andrea Tacchi (1956 - current)

Italy

At the age of 15, he crafted his first instrument, marking the beginning of his journey. While studying mechanical engineering in college, he took his first steps as an apprentice under Argentine luthier Ricardo Brané, fully committing to the path of guitar making. After his mentor Brané passed away, he traveled extensively across Spain, England, and France, seeking guidance and critique from some of the era's greatest masters, including Paulino Bernabé Sr., José Ramírez III, José Luis Romanillos, Robert Bouchet, and Daniel Friederich. These encounters profoundly influenced his guitar-making style and craftsmanship, shaping his future work.
