About
me? ... My name is Hans Geerdink and "Once upon a time, way back a long time ago" when I went high school I started taking guitar lessons. Soon after a few lessons I knew what I wanted to do for the rest of my life; make music. In 1985 I lived in Emporia Kansas in the USA, went to high school as a foreign exchange student and started to built my first "real playable" electric guitar. Not lang after I returned in the Netherlands I made my first classical guitar.
At my Vocational Technical School in Rotterdam, way back in 1986-1990, Anton Wiegers was teaching tools, I studied furniture building. Soon I found out he was a well known luthier, next to teaching tools and musical instrument building. My second year I took a course building a classical guitar, my first real guitar was bourn! During the four years of school I have worked at Klop Harpsicords and Organs in Garderen, where I have learned a lot. After I finished school I started as a CAD designer, programming a CNC machine for a funiture designer. In 1992 I started my own small luthery shop.
After graduating from vocational technical school I worked as a cabinet designer/maker. Meanwhile, after a few more guitars and a few more gigs, I started to get the feeling. I gained more confidence and dared to call myself a luthier. In 1992 I started my own small luthery shop.
