Jaume Bosser Artal

Jaume Bosser started lute building in 1982 as an amateur, while working professionally as a multi instrument-player musician. His 1st instrument was a renaissance lute kit, that he used afterwards in many concerts and recordings of vinyl, CD´s, TV and radio. From 1992, he left more and more aside performing music to work exclusively as a luthier. He worked occasionally with Ricard Margarit, luthier from Les Pobles (Tarragona). Later, he attended several instrument making courses in Spain with Manuel G. Mayoral (flamenco guitar, Hospitalet), Carlos González (renaissance guitar, Aracena), David Van Edwards (baroque lute) and José Luís Romanillos (classical guitar, Sigüenza). He regularly performs conservation and restoration work on early guitars and lutes from the Barcelona’s music museum (Museu de la música de Barcelona). One of the outstanding works concluded with the recording of a CD with original guitars from the museum, performed by the great master Xavier Díaz-Latorre. He's also done conservation and restoration work on early guitars from private owners (Jordi Savall and others).
