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.
