About Us

As a musician, I have always wanted to leave my personal mark. This meant an ongoing exploration: first of my sound, and then of the woods and the ergonomics that shape each instrument.

Later, as a maker, my path naturally unfolded into experiments with different instrument scales and a wide range of woods, each bringing its own character and possibilities.

Combining this with my identity as a musician, I expanded my search to reclaimed woods — dried indoors and carrying a personal meaning for me.

Shaping frets by hand

That's how I found myself playing a 32-inch walnut bass-wood that had lived its first life as a door, dating back to 1900, in my grandparents' home.

Soon, fellow musicians began asking me to craft instruments for them using woods that carried sentimental value.

This was the beginning of a unique kind of instrument making:
an art that gives wood a second chance

the chance to find its own voice!

Custom made

My personal needs led me to focus on 4 main types of instruments:

electric bass, travel bass (mini bass), electric upright bass (EUB), and ukulele.

Each of them served different aspects of my musical journey: study, touring with easy transport, live performances, as well as jamming across diverse stylistic choices.

With original designs and a strong retro vibe, Georgis' Reclaimed Wood Instruments stand out for their soulful, old-school sound.

Instruments with character — even when they share the same shape or size, no two are ever truly the same.

Each one carries its own character and unique voice, crafted by hand under the special conditions that only reclaimed woods can offer.

Reclaiming wood is not just about reusing an object with history — it's an entire way of life!

The world around me turns into an endless playground, where every piece of material I uncover sparks the joy of discovery and fuels my inventiveness.

Instrument Making Workshops

We offer workshops either individually or in small groups.

They cover instrument setups, as well as the building of electric and electroacoustic instruments — always with the aim of using as little electricity as possible.

Each workshop includes theory, design, safety, and hands-on introduction to the tools.
