"Tricotism is our second recording together and it is very much in the same mould. We've taken inspiration from the great Peterson/Pass/Brown trio. The repertoire is broadly from the Great American Songbook with a couple of curve balls thrown in. All three of us love to groove and this unit and recording provides these things aplenty!
We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it."
Craig Milverton

Started building guitars professionally in 2011 after 3 years of studies at the Bruand Guitar School in Montreal, Canada, where he learned classical and acoustic guitar making and design as well as basic tool-handling techniques.

Iker is a young luthier from a small town near Bilbao (Spain).His beginnings in lutheria began in a natural way, after working for years as a sound engineer, playing the guitar and being surrounded by music continuously. He began his studies of lutheria in BELE (Basque School of Violin Making) where he spent four years, during those years he trained in the acoustics and restoration of the instruments. He also built some classical  instruments (violin, viola and cello).

Stephen Marchione

The journey from high-school jazz devotee to the finest young guitar maker working today, according to Chamber Music America, was a rich and complicated one.

After establishing his own brand and working for over a decade in New York City, Stephen Marchione moved to the Montrose arts district in Houston, Texas, where he builds his entire family of guitars.
Additionally, Marchione has also studied privately since 1994 with Manhattan-based violin maker Guy Rabut. “I try to build one violin a year to keep my chops up”, says Marchione. He feels that building classical guitars and violins broadens his understanding of top thicknessing, tap tuning, and surface preparation.
Similarly, building electric guitars has taught him the importance of the fretboard in a player’s appreciation of a guitar. Marchione is considered one of a very few leading-edge pioneers in the design of guitars that combine elements of both jazz and classical construction. This well-rounded approach contributes to the magic one finds in a Marchione instrument, a magic that is at once very broad yet truly individual.
