Meet Harry from
Gitaar Afstellen Almere
I have been playing classical guitar since I was sixteen. It has been, believe it or not, more than 50 years. About twelve years ago I became fascinated with classical guitars built by luthiers such as Kohno, Ramirez, Hauser and Romanillos. Each of them magnificent instruments, but far too expensive to purchase. That’s when the idea arose to start building them myself.
I bought books and construction plans and spent countless hours researching online. My first build was quite a challenge, but soon after I started building my second guitar. To uncover the secret of the perfect guitar, you have to build many. I then decided to build guitars for people interested in hand-crafted instruments, without charging for my labour. I only ask for a small contribution for the price of the wood and the cost of the equipment used. I have now built more than fifty guitars. You can follow the building processes on my Instagram.
Can I help you with repairing your classical guitar, or are you interested in a custom-built instrument? Feel free to contact me via the contact form.

All about
guitar maintenance
What is Gitaar Afstellen Almere?
Gitaar Afstellen Almere is your go-to destination for expert guitar maintenance in the Almere area. We specialise in professional setups, maintenance, repairs, restorations and modifications for classical guitars. Will we see you soon?
How do I know if my guitar or bass needs a setup?
If your instrument plays too heavy, if you notice fret buzz or if certain notes sound out of tune, it’s time for a setup. Even brand new guitars and basses benefit from a professional setup. We’ll help you to get the most out of your instrument.
How is a guitar or bass set up?
Every guitar is carefully set up to suit your playing style and preferences. Everything is customised according to your taste – from the truss rod in the neck to setting the pickup height and checking the electronics. Let us know what kind of music you play, who your guitar heroes are, what tunings you use and which strings you prefer. We’ll deliver the perfect setup – tailored to you and your instrument.
How much does a setup cost and how does the payment work?
A complete setup costs €75,- and includes changing the strings, setting the action, pickup height and truss rod, intonating the bridge saddles, checking and if needed cleaning the electronics and potentiometers, cleaning and conditioning the fretboard, cleaning and polishing the frets and cleaning the body. Please see our services for a full overview.
When picking up your instrument, you can pay via an online payment link (credit card or iDEAL) sent by e-mail and SMS. Payment in cash is also possible. Once you’ve completed the payment, a VAT-invoice will automatically be sent to your e-mail. After that, it’s time to go home and play!
How can I make an appointment to set up my instrument?
You can easily book an appointment online with our Almere-based luthier using the booking form. Let us know what guitar you have and what work needs to be done – we’ll take care of the rest. We work without waiting lists and typically have availability right away.
How long does a guitar setup take?
We don’t work with waiting lists, so you can book your appointment right away. In most cases, your instrument is ready within 1 to 2 working days. Need it sooner? No worries, choose our same-day service for a €25,- surcharge and we’ll make sure your guitar is ready that very day!
Where in Almere are you located and what are your opening hours?
You’ll find us at Senecalaan 4 in Almere.
Please note: we work by appointment only. Let us know in the booking form when you’d like to drop off your guitar, and we’ll find a time that works for you.
