ABOUT

In love with the handpan since our first encounter in 2006, I had to wait almost 10 years to acquire my first instrument, a hang panART.

Already practicing percussion, I became completely passionate about its rhythmic and melodic combination possibilities.

Fascinated by metalwork since childhood, it was only natural for me to be interested in the fabrication of these instruments.

In 2017, I struck my first hammer blows with the help of Matthieu from Shellopan in his Fab lab in Strasbourg.

Thanks to this experience, I worked with Metal Sounds for 2 years on the fabrication of the Zenko© tongue drum and the Spacedrum©, until I felt the desire to start my own research into understanding and tuning metal.

Being a musician myself, my own standards drive me to invest my research into instruments that can meet the expectations of other players, in terms of sound, number of notes, or even scale combinations.

In search of a name that would symbolize my instruments, I finally chose to continue the tradition of luthiers: to sign the instrument with my own name.

My workshop is now located between Nîmes and Uzès in Gard, where I can welcome you if you wish to discover my creations.

Hoping to meet you soon and share my passion with you!
