Essaouira, Morocco

What Yellow Workshop is known for

Luthier Hassan Laarousi builds guembris in small, medium and large sizes, carving the bodies from poplar, cedar, mahogany or walnut and heading them with dromedary skin and goat-gut strings. Some instruments add a Fishman pickup for amplified Gnaoua playing, and each one is made in Essaouira and shipped worldwide.
