Tino Battiston

"In 1997, Tino started his education in woodwork as a cabinet maker, as there weren`t any musical instrument making schools around. Patiently working and developing his new skills for several years and traveling overseas for 2 years, he took the ultimate opportunity and became a guitar maker (luthier). Since 2004, step by step, he worked and studied the art of guitar making beside the Master guitar maker Kazuo Sato. His dream became reality! Three years later, Tino lived the dream by opening his own company in germany and finally building his very own guitars. (source : Tino Battiston's website)
