Luthier Alfredo Lerma

Alfredo Lerma was born in Buenos Aires in 1975.
His first contact with "Handmade instrument making" was in 2008, guided by Dario Lo Bosco. In 2009 he started a course of "Restoration of Musical Instruments" with Diego Mena, attending his workshop for 3 years. In 2012 studied "Lutes and Ancient Guitars" making with Sebastián Núñez, and he opened his workshop in Boedo in 2013. In 2014 ALfredo coordinated the seminars of Mauro Cura (friend and teacher of the School of Lutheria of Tucumán), who trained him in the construction of Violins in Yerba Buena, Tucumán.
Inspired by the elegance of historical instruments, he joined AALGA (Argentine Lute and Early Guitar Association, the artistic community that brings together specialists in ancient music), serving as its Secretary for 3 consecutive years (2016-2018).
While starting to make his own lutes, he worked in Spanish Guitars making with Ariel Ameijenda, Baroque Violins with María Machado and fine woodworking furniture guided by Germán Plessl
