About
« For 44 years in search of the perfect flute ... My work gives me the opportunity to combine the love for craftsmanship with my great passion for music »
Santi Occorso, born in 1943, graduated from the Art Institute of Cefalù, specializing in woodworking . Later he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, concluding his studies with a diploma in painting. In 1975 he began to build recorders and panpipes in bamboo and wood, taking up his father’s hobby.

In a laboratory partially excavated in the rock, with a panoramic view, Santi Occorso builds his instruments with sensitivity and demanding creativity.
