At a very young age, Juan was drawn to the graceful lines, and alluring sound of stringed instruments.

Master Craftsmen such as Amati, Guarneri, Stradivari, and others created instruments that allowed composers and musicians to expand their creative boundaries, and take music to a higher level of technical excellence.
