My Name is Eli Natan. I was born in Israel in 1972.
All my life I was enchanted by music and musical instruments.
When I was young I took some piano lessons, but my decision to become a professional musician arrived at a much later stage in my life. Although the first time I actually held a guitar was at the age of 18, it was love at first sight. I was very much influenced by my uncle, who was a guitarist and a huge inspiration. From that moment on, the guitar became the centre of my life.
At 23, I entered Rimon - Jazz Academy in Israel where I played with a number of bands and experienced different styles.
In 2000 my band “The Human Beings” moved its base to the UK and spent a year and a half gigging in various venues around London. That is when my interest in Guitar Making began.
I studied this fascinating woodcraft at Merton College in South London, and hold a Luthier certificate.
