Walter Verreydt was born in Lierre (Belgium) in 1958. After his studies, he became a teacher of carpentry and technical drawing. His love of music comes from his family, which includes many musicians. This affinity plus his skills in woodworking will lead him to lutherie: in 1985, Walter builds his first classical guitar. He will study the work of historical luthiers: Bouchet, Fleta, Hernández-Aguado and others. He benefits from the advice of José Romanillos and Daniel Friederich. At the beginning of the 90's he met Rolf Eichinger, with whom he deepened his knowledge of the Spanish tradition. In 1999, Walter Verreydt was laureate of the "4th Mostra Concorso Internazionale di Chitarra Classica" in Baveno (It). Since 1988, Walter Verreydt has been teaching at the "Centrum voor Muziekinstrumentenbouw" in Puurs, Belgium.

The guitar presented here corresponds to a "lattice" model. It is a rather particular "lattice": the guitar is light, this structure makes it vibrant and alive, which allows to obtain the power, the reactivity and the solidity of the lattice associated with a musicality rather close to the instruments of traditional construction with clear, flexible and coloured notes. A high performance concert instrument with a remarkable quality of workmanship and finish, qualities on which the international reputation of this luthier has been built.
