GEAR

These are the instruments that I always take with me, both live and in the studio (Cremona 5 and RS5), because they are the best tools and they allow me to express my voice, and my music, in any musical context. 

I met David Segal, an incredible musician and luthier, in 2009, during a short stay in NY. Since then, not only a collaboration with NYBW was born, but also a profound friendship, which has been going strong for 11 years. The first instrument I commissioned from him was the Cremona 5 (in the picture on the left), and after 10 years of intense use, came the RS5; the latest series produced by NYBW. They're two different instruments, but they have common characteristics, worthy of an elite luthiery. During my last visit in 2019, I finally had the pleasure of meeting David "Beez" Beasley in person; the other half of NYBW. He's another extraordinary musician and wonderful person. I could spend hours talking about these instruments, because I'm in love with them, but I suggest you take a look at their website and social media pages, to see and listen with your own eyes and ears!
