​I had the great joy to witness La​ra Seidel’s career from the very beginning
because I was the first client that ordered a guitar from her.
It was in 1992 when I learnt to know that there was young woman making guitars in Belgium.  At that time, I was working as classical Guitar teacher at the conservatory of Luxembourg.
I went to visit her workshop in  Mortsel and I just discovered that she was still a student  at ILSA (International Lutherie School Antwerp) and some years later of Romanillos, however she impressed me not just a prominent talented Luthier but also as a very sensitive and refined human being.
Immediately I ordered my first eight string classical guitar to Lara, followed  a few months later, by two more orders of six string  guitars for my students at the Conservatory of Luxembourg.
In 1995,  she made for me a second eight string classical guitar which I played few years with great pleasure and contentment.
My first attraction and pull to play Lara’s guitars was the fact that she is a woman.  As a spiritual seeker myself, I was related to TANTRA for many years, so I was incredibly attracted to feel the sound of a guitar made with the sensitive and tender YIN qualities of a woman.
Indeed, I found those feminine  qualities I was looking for many years in a guitar,
​it,s to say: tenderness, softness, tone, purity and of course, amazing playability which gave me immense satisfaction.
I fully recommend Lara Seidel’s guitars as exquisite instruments, which have all the qualities of refinement and professionalism.

Various qualities are indispensable for building a good-sounding concert guitar.
Technical skill, intuition, knowledge of the different woods to be used etc.
Only when these features are paired with relentless enthusiasm, no-nonsense research and sensibility, does one get a Seidel guitar.
For the last 40 years  or so I've had the possibility to examine a large amount of concert instruments, some of them of great renown.
Lara Seidel stands the comparison quite favourably.

Veel kwaliteiten zijn onontbeerlijk om een voortreffelijk klinkende concertgitaar
​te bouwen: technische competentie, intuïtie, materiaalkennis ed.
Maar alleen als zij ook gepaard gaan met niet aflatende toewijding, no-nonsense research en sensibiliteit bekom je een Seidelgitaar.
In de loop der jaren kon ik een belangrijk aantal gerenommeerde concertinstrumenten testen. Lara Seidel doorstaat de vergelijking glansrijk.
