Arrenbie

Ralph Arrenbie describes the history of Arrenbie Guitars founded in 2006:

"When I was 12 years old I started playing the guitar. Little did I know that this instrument would take me on the greatest adventure in my life. Not only did it bring me joy and comfort, through the guitar I met my wife! She came to one of my guitar lessons.... The rest is history.

When I turned 30 I discovered that guitars could be made by hand. Before, I thought that every guitar was factory made and something you bought in a music shop.

I became a student at the CMB (Centre for musical instrument building. Puurs Belgium) and there I developed another passion: wood! So, building instruments is a combination of two passions!
