THE VOICE OF CADIZ

The craftsman of music

Clapton is one of the leading experts repair the province and construction of stringed instruments , which manages in his workshop Sherry

Jesus Cabral is not sure if it was before musician or luthier , or whatever it is, an expert in building, adjusting or repairing string instruments and down. He believes that his two vocations, which are then transformed into professions (also the bassist Leda Three), have always gone hand in hand: "Since I was younger and started to play, and when with my brother we made our own instruments. "

Once this path could see what it does is that in a city with so much musical tradition and Jerez, which is as good flamenco guitarists and has a conservatory and music schools, there was no ; luthier with a workshop. "Surprisingly there has been no tradition here for this profession, although some English guitar builders."

That's one reason why he decided to take the plunge and convert business that passion for the instruments and their experience in a business.

But before discovering that this was his future began university studies that ended up leaving because "my way was on the other hand, with the wood." So, with the intention to become familiar with this material, began to manufacture furniture, painted and, until it became a good carpenter and cabinetmaker.

was then, and when I was starting to get tired of varnishing doors, when I got the opportunity to take a course with the teacher Guitarreria Ullén Antonio, El Puerto de Santa Maria, who bonded with more training through of calls of the Centro Andaluz de Flamenco (CAF) or bass studies.

sum of knowledge

Thus, step by step, was adding to his experience with wood specific knowledge required by string players and specified that their hands could pass as vintage instruments violins, cellos, double basses and violas, but classical guitars, electric, bass, and "all that I want to bring to the workshop." His training has also played an important role violin workshop Sergi Martí, Valencia, where I have always advised and helped. Not forgetting that he continues to study and consult books or web pages.

Artisan His fame grew and instruments all of her friends had their own, what he was carving a name for its exquisite way of working. So about six years ago set up the first workshop in his home and began to have a significant workload which made him consider creating a business.

Cabral became autonomous and contacted the City Council, through which a course of new sources of employment that gave him access to a local business incubator Andana in El Portal.

currently has his studio there, where the tools live traditional woodworking with specific violin, and the music professionals come to give them solutions if you have a problem or to build them as an instrument. The Cabral is a personalized service, focusing mainly on repairs and adjustments, "but gradually accept more ambitious commissions and make what a customer has in mind."

This way of starting the business house with its philosophy of "making investments without undue risk." In this regard, support has been felt at the time of becoming independent, even aid have arrived. Today, there is virtually no instrument Jerez and its surroundings which has not passed through his hands. Even the stores will send what comes from the factory to do the setup. He accepts all types of queries. "You can almost always provide a solution, but the last word belongs to the client."
