Renan Aouam was born in 1986. He took an interest in music from an early age and learned to play the piano. Later, at the age of 14, he discovered woodworking during an internship with a cabinetmaker restoring antique furniture. He built his first guitars as a self-taught student before entering a lutherie school in Madrid. He opened his first workshop in 2018 in Pamplona. His first contact with Jean-Noël Rohé inspires him to completely rethink his approach to construction. He returns to France in 2021, where he has a second decisive encounter with Jean-Pierre Mazé, a pupil and close friend of Robert Bouchet. Mazé shared with Renan the knowledge he had acquired from Bouchet, as well as the experience he had acquired over the years. Today, Renan Aouam's work is in line with this French tradition.

This instrument, built in 2019, has flamed maple back and sides. The aesthetics are sober and refined, and the craftsmanship is well done. Soundwise, this is a powerful, homogeneous instrument. Notes are clear, dense, vibrant and rich in harmonics. The timbre is warm and expressive. The slender neck (51 mm) and low setting make it easy and pleasant to play.
