Dear friends, family, and music enthusiasts,

I invite you to join me on a journey that celebrates heritage, craftsmanship, and the timeless beauty of Portuguese guitar music. For over 50 years, a cherished Portuguese guitar has been a part of my family's legacy, echoing the soulful melodies of generations past. Two years ago, I embarked on a quest to learn this enchanting instrument, guided by a deep passion for its rich cultural heritage.

With dedication and determination, I've undertaken the restoration of our beloved family Portuguese guitar, breathing new life into its strings that have carried melodies through the decades. Now, as I continue my musical odyssey, I seek your support in taking the next step: upgrading to a handmade Portuguese guitar that will elevate my playing to new heights.

The journey of mastering the Portuguese guitar is one of tradition and innovation, blending age-old techniques with personal expression. While my entry-level instrument has served me faithfully, the time has come to invest in a handmade guitar crafted by a Portuguese skilled artisan, ensuring unparalleled quality and resonance that will amplify the depth and authenticity of music.

Your generous contributions will not only help me acquire this exquisite instrument but also enable me to preserve and promote the legacy of Portuguese guitar music for future generations. Together, we can uphold a tradition that transcends time and borders, weaving together the threads of history, culture, and passion through the universal language of music.

Every donation, no matter the size, brings me closer to my goal and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for believing in the power of music to unite, inspire, and transform lives. 

With heartfelt appreciation,

Filipe
