Growing up in Uzbekistan, nineteen-year GAL member Peter Tsiorba attended a music school studying piano. In the 1990s, an encounter with a fine but battered Manuel Contreras flamenco guitar awakened his desire to make a guitar. Today he is a full-time luthier focusing on building classical and flamenco guitars, as well as the restoration and repair of modern and antique instruments. In his shop you can always catch the aromas of freshly planed wood, shellac, and hide glue.
