Shows
Roma Guitar Expo
Taking part as a luthier and educator, among instruments, musicians and conversations that almost always end up being about pickups.
Andrea Marcellan
The workshop
is my source.
I have built, repaired and studied stringed instruments since 2008. My authority as an educator starts here: real cases, real problems and tested solutions.
The process
First, the work.
Then, explaining it.
After training at the Scuola di Artigianato Artistico del Centopievese in Bologna, I opened my Padua workshop in 2008. Since then I have built custom instruments and worked daily on classical, acoustic and electric guitars, basses and other stringed instruments.
This continuous experience gives my educational work a perspective that is difficult to fake: that of someone who measures, dismantles, corrects, builds and takes responsibility for the result.
Authority
More than 80,000 followers.
A community built on expertise.
Long-form videos, shorts, articles and social content about instruments, lutherie, setup, electronics, guitar history and purchasing decisions.
80K+followers across all channels. Expertise, minus the tie.
2008professional activity began. And no, it was not yesterday.
1K+hours of content, testing and education. Someone had to try it all.
5K+instruments across the workbench. Enough to spot certain problems at a glance.
Industry presence
Not just the workbench.
Sometimes I even leave the workshop.
Shows, collaborations and public discussion: the right places to test ideas, instruments and opinions—preferably in that order.
Events
Guitar Show
Direct exchange with brands, craftspeople and professionals. A great place to learn; a terrible place to promise yourself you will not buy anything.
Collaborations
A technical, independent and recognisable voice.
Editorial content, projects with companies and continuous dialogue with the community. No technical jargon for show: precision is there to help people understand, not to impress.
Work hard.Play harder.
Lutherie + education
Two different activities.
The same credibility.
Liuteria Marcellan is where I build and repair. Engine of Creation is the organisation through which I develop educational content and new musical projects.
The two identities remain distinct, but are connected by the same technical experience and my personal involvement.
