Wooden Butterflies

(Documentary, 29 min) by Guy Natanel

Behind a small fruit garden in North London, two men handcraft guitars. Haim and David are luthiers, fashioning organic stringed instruments from recycled wood.

Tracing the birth of one dulcimer, Wooden Butterflies reveals a journey of metamorphosis: the translation of memory into music. Histories unravel as the body of the instrument takes shape from an 18th Century piano and a discarded painting of South Africa. Rather than going to waste, these tales are recycled and ravelled anew with the life stories of Haim and David. Wooden Butterflies explores the ontology of music, contemplating not only its physical forms, but also the emotions and experiences which create its possibility.

Will not be taking my instruments anywhere else. This is top drawer guitar care. Friendly, fast, fixed it first time. Can't recommend highly enough, if there were 6 stars I'd be giving them!

If you are looking for guitar experts, look no further. Excellent service and very fair price for the quality of work. I'm over the moon with my guitar, it's the best it has ever sounded/looked. Haim is an absoulte legend, i can't reccommend him enough. Will definitely be a return customer if any of my guitars need attention.

An absolutely first rate setup. My Telecaster has never sounded so good and Haim is such a pleasure to do business with. He takes the time to find out exactly what you want, goes through the options and carries out the work at a fair price. Highly recommended.
