THE LUTHIER - MARTIN MAUDAL

Subscribe to my son's channel: / @spanishwithnate.
In this documentary, Martin Maudal, a craftsman who makes guitars by hand, takes you through the steps of building one of his electric resonator guitars. You will learn about why he started making guitars and the time, effort and soul that is put into these fine musical instruments. All of Martin's guitars are hand made using wood he gathered from when he worked as a tree trimmer. Each has a unique sound and smooth feel. Check them out at his website. www.mcubedguitars.com. You can also contact the filmmaker at [e-mail].

Man, that shop looks so zen. He's half in, half outside. Love it.

[@markussax1412]

What a wonderful documentary. You can feel the wood and smell the oil.... ....fantastic! Thank you. His instruments are pure art and he's such a gentle man. Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪🎸🤘

[@jnucleo]

Great video, nice to see there are still some real craftsmen making quality stuff in America. No doubt Martin is doing it because it's a passion and not for the bucks. Truly inspiring.

[@kevinbaker7803]

A lot of care and respect for the materials,gave me goose bumps listening to thoase sweet tones.. Kevin Baker, Langley,British Columbia, Canada

[@grobbo64]

I loved your film, Ralph. It presents Martin an his work in such an artful, relaxing and enjoyable way that reflects the craftsman's approach to his work perfectly. I have a massive respect for people who create anything beautiful in a humble shed and, Martin, your guitars are gorgeous. The way you understand, appreciate and "believe" in the wood is fabulous. Well done both! GRoB.

[@18roselover]

Martin I luv your organic approach to luthiery very refreshing compared to the more traditional handmade guitars /ukes that my customers want .Thanks for posting.

[@brendanshaw885]

Kudos, Martin! You're a true craftsman. Well-produced video, too. Full of beautiful tones, all of it.

[@tommytbonescramer3908]

I recently started repairing old broken guitar both acoustic and electric mostly refinishing although several have needed more work. I just made my first neck using the fret board from the old neck and in a day or 2 I'll string the guitar to see how well I did. Last night I started a neck that I'll do everything and I found a beautiful piece of wood that I'll use for the fret board. I'm looking forward to the day that my work looks and sounds as good as what I see you doing. Thank you I got a lot from your story.

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

Why thank you for your kind words. I made the film on Martin for those exact reasons. Very simple workshop with incredible results as you can see.

[@rocksfinalstand]

I'm about to build my own first guitar. This video was quite helpful but laid back. I loved it.

[@myopicshah]

original design, original idea & nothing "look a like" other brand guitar design. awesome!

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

Ian Thanks for the kind words. I believe Martins guitars are about $4,500 and up. He has his own KZbin page at Maudal Musical Machines. He has several videos of his guitars being played so you can hear their incredible sound. Hope you can get one for yourself they are truly incredible instruments.

[@bobbybob3679]

Im waiting to buy a Hedworth guitar when he finally starts selling them next year! These guitars are very nice too. Great craftsmanship!

[@mariolafontaine2309]

Realy nice portrait of an artiste! Well made documentary. From a guitar lover in Quebec(i'm sure there is a lot like me!)

[@randyscott9034]

Very cool guy doing his own thing and creating beautiful guitars without owning some building that he could never pay off I dig him he has freedom from the machine!

[@ericmesser1]

Brilliant........I loved this.......wonderful craftsmanship...... Thanks

[@patrickvarela1463]

His instrument is beautiful and unique, the sound is wonderful , congratulations. A big hug friend patrick Brazil.

[@Ibaneddie76]

Fucking awesome, I love how he just sprays his finish right outside his shop and carves the neck sitting on a bench. Great builder for sure. I like seeing videos like this because I'm constantly trying to figure out ways to make clean spaces for finishing and it makes me realize I'm way over thinking things sometimes.

[@trublgrl]

A very well made picture, kudos to all.

[@Greebstreebling]

Such a lot of feeling and gentle inspiration in this video. Really nice to see such beauty that comes from a person's efforts, such real crafts people are scarce. Thanks for sharing, I'll be playing this a few times whilst making my first Oud.

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

Thanks Paul. Glad you enjoyed. I have made two classical guitars and have always been inspired by Martin. Good luck with your project

[@hfwilke]

Such amazingly beautiful guitars. Both the sound and the looks.

[@DEANHAITANIMUSIC]

Amazing craftsmanship-gradually and gradually I become more and more fascinated by great craftsmanship and making something looks amazing and comes to life-Hopefully the more videos I watch will inspire me to try making my own guitar-great stuff :)

[@therealjamespickering]

I love that his methods are so 'primitive' so to speak. I've been watching videos about Wyn and Fedora Guitars, and I'm left feeling like a could never achieve that level of workmanship because my workshop also looks like an old shed. This sort of video reminds me that one does not require the best machines in the world to create something beautiful.

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

James Pickering Yes pretty basic stuff. Martin has some unique ways of using tools to get the job done with attention to detail and maintain quality. I am also a woodworker and realize its about solutions to creating what you want to achieve and sometimes it doesn't have to be the most expensive tool that is needed. Good luck with your work.

[@williamgarden3209]

All in all, very well done. Video, instrument & music!

[@Phanton-Racing]

Beautiful work, Beautiful guitars.

[@gcoop3]

All I can say is Beautiful and each one of those guitars will always have your mojo :-)

[@tribaltroll]

Beautiful work. A real labor of love.

[@limaluishenrique]

I don't know if I am so drunk now, but this is one of the best video I have seen. So amazing and inspired. Congratulations!

[@aligationaligatione2112]

Krásný! Profesionální práce!

[@blackfender100]

Very cool hand made is the way to go.Excellent video

[@walterrider9600]

superb work . love the raw wood bug runs and stuff looks great to me

[@improziv]

Beautiful film making and beautiful subject. Thank you!

[@michaelgawne822]

Beautiful guitars your one great guitar craftsman.lovely work.

[@rietveld840]

Really lovely instruments. They sound really good and clean

[@LVGaryD1]

I'm an acoustic guy, but that is one beautiful guitar. Great video!

[@thespiritof76..]

Buddy. you got it figured out. Best of luck in all your builds👍🏻🤘🏻

[@gervaiscatchpole4093]

beautiful work - I like your unique designs

[@luizalvessobrinho8397]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho. um belo instrumento

[@yugrusretep]

Love the docco and the subject.

[@lunacorona5734]

Love this video. I would really love a workshop like that.

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

Nice to hear you enjoyed it. I'll pass on the workshop idea to Martin. I saw your bands videos and liked your soothing harmonies. Noticed you were playing a cajon and wanted to pass on my friends site who makes them. I keep trying to have him let me make a film on how he makes them. No luck yet. tonecajon.com Regards

[@Pollandland]

Those are definitely the most beautiful guitars I've seen I can say that with a certainty

[@maudalmusicalmachines3541]

Lewis Polland thanks man! you can find some new demo video of recent guitars on my Maudal Musical Machines KZbin channel. and also a lot of process pictures on my Facebook page. peace!

[@aldomora3785]

Really great job man!!! Keep rocking!!!

[@animateangus]

Such an inspiring video Martin! I am a model maker, but I am thinking of attempting a banjo ukulele build sometime this year.

[@timhallas4275]

If you make a beautiful guitar, a guitar player will do his best to make it sound as beautiful as it looks.

[@AprendizdeLuthier]

Fantastic!!!

[@Ibaneddie76]

I need to try my hand at a resonator build, obviously I wouldn't copy this guy's work but it would be a really interesting build for sure. I've never even played one I build mostly modern rock styled guitars but there is always room for learning and trying new things.

[@johnnypk1963]

Really enjoyed this. Luv his simple basic approach to building. Literally all hand made beautiful...

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

Glad you enjoyed. He's very passionate and dedicated to his craft. Very nice to hold in your hands and feel the instrument and realize the care that has gone in to it.

[@johnnypk1963]

Ralph Tecotzky Beauitiful guitars with their less than perfect wood, knots etc. Do u own one of his guitars? Im curious what the scale lengh is and the cost, if u don't mind. They sound very unique, even with the compressed crappy youtube audio. Im a guitar builder myself....so it struck me, the way he builds, very similar to my process is very slow. Tough to make a living. No matter, he sounds happy and content lucky man...

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

johnnypk1963 I do not own one as I do not play. Just the filmmaker. I don't know the scale length and I believe they range in price $3-4K. Yes his process is slow and I believe it is tough to make it work, but he is very committed to the craft. You should contact him I'm sure he would love to share stories with you. His website is www.mcubedguitars.com.

[@everettmantis3951]

LOCK IT DOWN written on the bandsaw. I thought I was the only one that did that 😂

[@torviclou]

[@maudalmusicalmachines3541]

nuno changkiri hah! You very funny ;~]

[@giovanisantos5270]

What p type of varnish used to give finishing ?. and what portion to dilute? Very nice!!!. Thank you so much

[@ianshingler5788]

WOW, awesome. Great film, would love to own one of his creations. Dare I ask how much they go for? Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the mans a genius.

[@elxero2189]

[@GediSpock]

Awesome.

[@ralphtecotzky5219]

Thanks for commenting and glad you liked it.

[@elxero2189]

I like this guy!

[@MrWilkat1]

Nice work Martin, I like your way of thinking, but don't forget about us Canadians, we build fine guitars too! ;-)

[@Ibaneddie76]

Of coarse you guys do I don't think he was saying there aren't brilliant builders from all around the globe, witch there are.

[@st.apollonius5758]

Luthiery is the craft of building stringed instruments. not just specifically guitars.

[@aDotFromTheFuture]

Indeed.

[@thomastommy1192]

What do you charge to build one of those guitars? Where are you located? Thank you.

[@ellauderodeldesierto3210]

wonderfull

[@chrisperrin4329]

you make absolutely beautiful guitars I really wish I could have one maybe one day

[@maudalmusicalmachines3541]

Chris Perrin thanks Chris! you can find some new demo video on my Maudal Musical Machines KZbin channel and process pictures on my Maudal Musical Machines Facebook page

[@wackenthaljef]

Is this Arnold's brother playin?

[@DR0NE_BEE]

Iron fist in his old days :D

[@sertanejeirosbr9187]

Hi , how can I measure the distance between the frets ?

[@joebigwood7605]

That depends, what scale length are you using?

[@sertanejeirosbr9187]

65 Cm

[@joebigwood7605]

You'll need to convert to either inches or millimeters, but this will do the trick.

Thanks.

[@gaddur1]

[@maudalmusicalmachines3541]

mustapha gaddur you should talk to my friend Richard Barnes. you can find him on Facebook

[@steelwarrior105]

That Japanese saw file 😛

[@indianaschooloflutherie5031]

Nice work brother. Wear that mask when you buff! Those compounds are nasty!

[@victormanuelgomez7279]

[@murdechoc]

i guess he rather modal music than tonal

[@nakedmambo]

That's not a Buddhist view of work; it's a textbook Marxist view of work: self-development, an extension of yourself, a means to contribute to social life in total freedom.

3:40 this dude is going to loose a finger if he keeps this up :0

[@Techman4567]

Loved the craftsmanship that you put into your guitars, but the sound coming out of that amp is terrible. I will never get it why someone would prefer to listen to distortion i.e. fuzz box sound over the pure soft tone and voice of the actual instrument being played. Makes no sense to me.

[@vbojmic]

08:25 - American Luthier will never be and cannot never be so good as the ones who invented this art in a time "Americans" didn't exist yet,... So guys, if you are looking for some real expert in this job, try to find it in Italy, Greece, Balkans,... ;) (Otherwise, nice work Martin )

[@geemac7267]

You lost me at "Buddhist".

[@FANG1950]

another chatty kathy without many visuals of manufacturing.....

[@BrightonTom23]

Yeh, making good guitars is an American thing! Lol... guitars were made in the world before any 'American' made them!

[@maudalmusicalmachines3541]

BrightonTom23 sorry dude! that comment has bugged me ever since I saw this the first time ! still... us Americans are making pretty decent guitars these days ;~]

[@johnmcdonald2586]

i want to see you build it,i don't want to here you talking all the time,use subtitles
