Benjamin Dietlin
Every instrument is unique and thought through with you (wood choice, scale-length, binding, etc.). Let me guide you according to your taste and expectations.
About
My Name is Benjamin Dietlin. At 31, after studying and working in the field of thermal and acoustic engineering of buildings, i decided to fully commit to my first passion, lutherie.
Based in Divatte-sur-Loire, in the vineyards area of Nantes, France, My job goes beyond instrument making with a real devotion to music.
« Being a luthier is a life philosophy »
My approach
Establiching a constant dialogue between tradition and the necessities of our time.
Every build is the link between a strong inspiration of pre-war instruments and the a more modern and sustanable philosophy.
I pay a particular attention to materials, to their origin and to their acoustic and mechanical properties.
My Craft
Custom manufacturing of plucked-string-instruments, repairs, setups and maintenance . Each project is unique and tailored to the musician's specific needs.
My approach combines craftsmanship and musical sensitivity, to express your acoustic and ergonimical requirements in a reel instrument.
Philosophy
Whatever your choices about woods, finishes and esthetics, I’ll always carry your acoustic demands to the highest level.
If you are looking for an instrument that reflects you, made with passion and awareness, I would be happy to discuss your project with you.
