“There’s a lot of experimentation behind carving wood. Each type of wood has a different sound, but it’s not an exact science.”

 

“Esculpir a madeira tem muita experimentação. Cada tipo de madeira tem um som diferente mas não é uma ciência exata.”

Crafts

From his workshop in Garajau, Madeira, João Leonardo Afonso devotes himself to building Portuguese string instruments, with the goal of achieving perfection in each instrument.
Music became a part of his life when he was four years old and by the age of six, he was going to the conservatory – Escola Profissional das Artes da Madeira. His curiosity about discovering how the instruments he played worked led him to the craft of turning wood into musical works of art.
When he returned to the conservatory in Madeira after studying the guitar at the University of Évora and training with master craftsmen Carlos Jorge, Eduardo Loio and Pavel Gavryushov, this young luthier from Madeira gained international projection as a specialist in handmade string instruments. Currently, he is the only person making mandolins in Madeira, which is home to one of the largest communities of performers in the world.

A partir da sua oficina no Garajau, na Madeira, João Leonardo Afonso dedica-se à construção de cordofones portugueses, procurando atingir a perfeição a cada instrumento.
A música entrou na sua vida aos 4 anos de idade e aos 6 já frequenta o Conservatório – Escola Profissional das Artes da Madeira. A sua curiosidade em descobrir o funcionamento dos instrumentos que tocava conduziu-o ao ofício de transformar madeira em objetos de arte musicais.
No seu retorno ao Conservatório da Madeira, após os estudos de guitarra na Universidade de Évora, e a formação com os mestres Carlos Jorge, Eduardo Loio e Pavel Gavryushov, tornam este jovem luthier madeirense de projeção internacional, um especialista em cordofones de fabrico artesanal. É atualmente o único construtor de bandolins no Arquipélago da Madeira, onde existe uma das maiores comunidades do mundo de executantes.
