THE ART OF CRAFTSMANSHIP

The manufacturing process of Bulgheroni musical instruments is a long and complex procedure and involves basically four steps:

• the seasoning of the wood, which can vary from 5 to 15 years. This is a delicate phase because it enriches the raw material with essential qualities such as compactness, stability and sonority. The wood we use comes with a certificate of controlled origin as a guarantee to protect the environment

• the working of the wooden body through the precision of the numerical control machines and the manual care in the finishing phase

• the preparation of the mechanism : the keys of the instrument are forged thanks to the latest generation of technology and are then finished during the various welding, sanding and cleaning processes carried out by expertly skilled hands

• the final assembly, the most delicate phase: the mechanisms must move with clock-like precision and the cork and leather pads must hermetically seal all the holes in the wood

Bulgheroni products are undoubtedly the result of ongoing technological renewal, but without the presence of skilled artisans it would be impossible to transform a precious piece of wood into a unique musical instrument. And that's exactly where the strength of the Bulgheroni company lies:in the hands of these true artists. The high degree of manual dexterity of these artisans can never be replaced by the schematic mass production of a machine. These skills are acquired only after years of experience and our employees receive their training entirely inside the company.
