About Antonio Carvalho

António Pinto Carvalho founded APC Musical Instruments in 1976, establishing what has become one of the most respected instrument-making workshops in Portugal. Drawing on a long tradition of Portuguese lutherie, António has dedicated his life to mastering the craft of instrument building.

Today, APC is a family-run business, with António's wife and two sons actively involved in the company, ensuring that the art of Portuguese instrument-making is passed down through generations.

APC invests in the latest technologies, looking for the highest accuracy and precision possible in construction methods. Don’t forget, however, the touch of each "luthier" on every instrument, making each piece a unique work of beauty and sonority. The symbiosis between nineteenth-century manufacturing techniques and the technology of today is key to ensuring the quality and authenticity of each instrument.

"The mandolin is a magnificent piece of craftsmanship, and after tuning, the sound is amazing, and I have been running my fingers through a couple of polkas and jigs! I am very happy with this" - Laurance K.
