The way I make my instruments and my design are mostly inspired by the great Italian masters of the Renaissance who defined the standards of lutherie
The observation of ancient instruments inspires me to look for the best wood, the most beautiful models and the best architecture for the arching.
All my work is done with sharp tools like planes, gouges but also self-made knives and flat gouges.
I also prepare my varnishes from oil and different resins to be able to influence their colour, transparency, flexibility or hardness.
Imitating or getting inspired by centuries-old models is not enough. I am always looking for new features. I also design models of violins, altos and cellos in which I translate what I have learned from old my masters and my vision of what can make them better.
I take great care of choosing the right wood which I can buy personally in Italy to be sure of its quality. I also make some of my tools for them to adapt perfectly to my hands. I also prepare my varnishes from oil and different resins to be able to influence their colour, transparency, flexibility or hardness.
My instruments are on display in Montpellier, Paris, Washington DC, Seattle, New-York, London, South-Korea and in Japan.
Baptiste Juguera trained under Frédéric Chaudière before opening his own workshop in Montpellier. He is a promising maker already with instruments spread all over the world. This is a very impressive cello with a sound characterized by a boomy low end while maintaining an unusual brilliance and presence in the upper register. Ideally suited for a player that needs to effortlessly cur through across a big hall.

The craft of cello making in France is steeped in centuries of distinguished tradition. It can therefore, be difficult to stand out as a new cello maker, which is why the work of Baptiste Juguera is that much more impressive. This is the second cello we have had in our collection and, in our opinion, solidifies Juguera's reputation as one of the premier cello makers in the country. The instrument has a bold and uncompromising tone, with rich harmonics and a boomy low register. Suitable for a player who wishes to develop a long term partnership with an instrument with lots of potential.
