What they say about us
Testimonials
The LucchiMeter is a workshop instrument that earns the trust of those who use it, measurement after measurement. Here we collect some voices from people who have integrated it into their daily work.
Andy Powers — Taylor Guitars
Master Guitar Designer, President & CEO of Taylor Guitars, one of the most established acoustic guitar brands in the world.
"The LucchiMeter allows us to select wood with repeatable criteria, to compare different batches without relying solely on experience. It has become a routine tool in our evaluation of spruce and cedar tops."
Andy Powers, Taylor Guitars
Paolo Coriani — violin maker
Violin maker from Modena, Italy, specialising in the construction of bowed string instruments. Uses the LucchiMeter to select spruce and maple for violin making.
"Measuring the wood with the LucchiMeter before starting to work gives me a numerical reference that integrates — does not replace — the experience of ear and hand. On soundboards it is particularly useful, because longitudinal and transverse speeds together tell a lot about the internal structure of the wood."
Paolo Coriani, violin maker
Julian Hersh — Reuning & Son
Expert in violins and bows at Reuning & Son, a historic Boston shop specialising in fine bowed instruments and antique bows.
"For those who buy and sell high-end bows, the Lucchi value is a figure that gives substance to subjective judgement. It allows comparing Pernambuco sticks on the same scale, regardless of who built them or how old they are."
Julian Hersh, Reuning & Son
