Oreste Lohs

Oreste Lohs is a young luthier from northern Italy, working from his workshop in Arco on Lake Garda. He studied under Daniele Chiesa and has since developed a personal building philosophy grounded in tradition, craftsmanship, and a refined sensitivity to sound.

He intentionally builds only a small number of instruments each year, dedicating full attention to every single guitar. Oreste Lohs prefers using hand tools over machines and avoids the use of electricity whenever possible, maintaining a direct and tangible connection with the wood.

He draws inspiration from his mentor Daniele Chiesa, a leading representative of the Granada school of guitar making. His guitars are born from a deep passion for the instrument, for tradition, and for tone. Every step of the process is carried out with great care and sensitivity, combining discipline with artistic expression.

Through this approach, Oreste Lohs creates instruments that embody a traditional voice while reflecting a distinct personal character – uniting craftsmanship, material, and music in a harmonious and authentic way.
