CRIADO COM ARTE E PACIÊNCIA

Diogo Valente, luthier premiado, confecciona cada instrumento com um cuidado extremo, desde a seleção das madeiras até ao polimento final.
Early Training and Discovery

After trying his hands at carving didgeridoos in his teens, Diogo Valente went to college to study prosthetic dentistry, where he trained his patience and manual dexterity. He was right about one thing: he was meant to shape things. But he was far from imagining that he would find purpose and brilliance in going back to wood and music, instead of people’s mouths.

Beginning in Luthiery

It was only when he went to work in a cordophone factory that he felt the spark, after handcarving an accordion with discarded wood. He founda master guitar maker to guide him, José Gonçalves (the revered The Luthier from Cónega), with whom he learned through observation, conversation and curiosity.

Recognition

In 2023, Diogo was made Honorary Member by the Cavaquinho Museum, a testament to his role in continuing Portugal’s luthier legacy.

Workshop and Materials

Today, his workshop in Aveiro produces instruments that take time as its most luxurious raw material. Then, there’s also the carefully chosen woods like Engelmann spruce, Cameroonian ebony, cocobolo, pau‑ferro, among others, all carved by hand.
