Hello, my name is Marco Todeschini and I am a luthier.
Lessina is an upland in the province of Verona: here, precisely in Corbiolo, I live and work with my wife ,with the company of some cats.
The territory and its trees, its mountains, its meadows and its people are of continuous inspiration, which is why I decided to dedicate the production of my handcrafted acoustic guitars to them: simple and resonant guitars, rustic yet elegant. I hope these instruments will inspire many other people.
The Chitarre Lessinia standard models, guitars designed to be simple, resonant and functional.
Lutherie is my job, a passion and a lifestyle choice that has given me so much. No instrument leaves my lab until I’m sure it matches the best I can do at that given moment.
10 years dedicated to the construction of ukuleles have given me an approach oriented towards the optimization of workmanship and the search for simplicity. Now I apply what I’ve learned to the guitar world by offering quality instruments at very interesting prices.
I combine manual processes with those made with the aid of machinery.
I believe that excellent acoustic results can be achieved even without using the exotic woods so typical in the construction of guitars. I have gained experience in using local and European woods for this purpose, and I really like working with the native woods of Lessinia.
I prefer simple lines and without frills, with an aesthetic that can be particular without being tacky. I try to apply this style to my guitars by using minimal decorations that let the shapes and grain of the wood speak for themselves.
