behind the music

A third-generation woodworker, Robert Rask combines his passion for music with elite craftsmanship to produce one-of-a-kind creations. After learning to play guitar in 2006, he spent years studying lutherie and set out to create his own instruments, prizing beautiful tone, playability and artistry above all else. Since then, Robert has distinguished himself by using rare, hidden materials all over the world and making something new and uniquely special to hand off to musicians everywhere.

“What I do is a form of co-creation. I get to use materials made by the great Creator, and co-create to make something new and beautiful. But the pinnacle of what I do comes when I then hand that creation off to someone else, who gets to use it to create something far more important and powerful than anything I’ve ever done. That’s the power of music…the power to inspire, lift, heal. Literally the power to save lives—as it did mine.”
