Ho sempre subito il fascino della Ghironda. Sarà per quella forma dai volumi insoliti, le ricche decorazioni e gli intagli che vi trovano spazio e quella magnifica manovella che ingenera il suono. Così mi sono inventato un modo per raggiungere la bottega di questo autentico maestro ai piedi delle Alpi Piemontesi. Delle Ghironde prodotte negli ultimi 40 anni in Italia, un mercato chiaramente di nicchia, potete scommetterci che molte sono uscite dalla sua mente e dalle sue mani. Sottile e alto come un giunco, lavora in un vecchio monastero da cui ha ricavato anche la sua casa. Ha ristrutturato tutto con l'abilità delle sue mani e pochissimi denari. Mi ha accolto con generosità, come si addice a chi ha familiarità nell'arte dell'incontro, che forse è davvero la più fondamentale della vita. Parliamo della sua storia di uomo, delle scelte di libertà che lo hanno sempre guidato. Dissacratore e serafico, ma anche colto e sensibile, ha saputo regalarmi molte espressioni da quel volto di gomma, sempre pronto a rispondere alle sollecitazioni della conversazione. La Ghironda, strumento di origine umile, ha accompagnato mendicanti e vagabondi per le strade del mondo, oltre a consentire ai contadini del nord ovest di racimolare qualche soldo lontano da casa prima che venisse il tempo del raccolto. Forse mi è simpatica proprio per questo suo essere rimasta fuori dal circuito della musica accademica conservando tra le fibre dei legni che la compongono uno spirito poeticamente ramingo.

Congratulations on the well-deserved EP and for all your work.
Thank you for introducing us to these arts and crafts and for keeping their memory alive...
A certainly quite intense research and I wonder how you could have managed to become aware of the existence of these Masters, some seem really lost in the dusty pages of the book of our History...
Greetings
Gianni

Wonderful picture Pierre 8-)
I find the light, almost Caravaggio-esque, that illuminates the face of the subject and how you set the portrait really beautiful. Yours in the caption is a vivid and affectionate story, a pleasure to read.
I congratulate you on all the work behind it and congratulate you on the well-deserved recognition :-D
A very dear greeting

Nice shot of a traditional instrument that is listened to only in somewhat niche circuits (I have been attending them since the mid-90s).
But is it a bow that he holds in his hand?
This hurdy-gurdy is a bit strange. It looks more like nickelharpa. Even the open structure on a guitar system is particular, the soundbox is practically missing.
Which on an instrument born not to be amplified is strange.
Bon, evolutions of luthiers.
Without taking anything away from the shot of course.
Greetings.

Effective in telling the man and his world as a craftsman and not only, I have known the instrument since the 70s of the last century, in those years there had been a flowering in Europe even in Italy of musical groups that harked back to distant eras, the label was folk-rock, I also had friends who played it, however a beautiful document, Greetings
