About:

I have been interested in lute making since I first began my studies. I finished my first instrument in 1984. My initial experience was gained from working with master Czech guitar maker Josef Kubla. My most important experience, however, came from a short educational visit to the workshop of German lute maker Günter Mark in Utrecht in 1992. Further experience was acquired from visiting a summer school of lute making directed by the English lute maker David van Edwards in 1993.
Besides lute making, I dedicate my time to researching the historical lutes housed in the Czech Museum of Music.
