    Default A piece of history

    That is how a Bulgarian luthiery looked like in 1915. You can see the most instruments are mandolins - flatbacks and bowlbacks. I thought you might be interested in seeing this one.

    Plamen,

    Great Photo...

    Do you have any information about the people in the photo?
    For whom did they work for?
    Is this in Sophia?

    Thank you for sharing...
    ...Cheers (morning blueberry tea)

    Hi,

    That is the town of Kazanlak, which was and still is a center of luthiery in Bulgaria. Unfortunately they do not built mandolins any more or it shall be rather an exemption. I don't know any details as regards the people, but i will try to find out something.

    Best,
