Your training options:
1. Online courses
In these courses you will find all the necessary not only to build your own instrument, but to learn from the fundamentals to the more advanced techniques. The main idea behind these courses is to simplify the making processes requirements in order to allow proper training for students coming from different levels.
2. Intensive group courses
At least once a year, usually during summertime, Pablo Soriano teaches a one or two-weeks intensive course. In this course, you will be able to make an instrument of your choice.

3. Individual online lesson
Choose a topic of your interest and arrange a virtual appointment with Pablo. During these sessions, Pablo will put all his knowledge at your disposal, bearing in mind your specific skills and equipment in order to find the best approach to overcome tour tasks.
4. Instrument-making school
Pablo is currently in the pathway to set up a stringed instrument making school in order to have a permanent placement for in person training. This is a long-term project, but all the progress will be published on social networks. Stay tuned!
