ABOUT
Peter Marreiros embarked on his lutherie journey in the late 90’s. In those
beginning years he built a few electric guitars. In 2003 he was inspired
to build an acoustic guitar. During this process he realized this was
his true passion. The demands of building an acoustic guitar were far
greater and spawned deeper levels of creativity and detailed
workmanship. Little did Peter know that same year he would meet
legendary luthier, Kevin Ryan where both sons were playing little
league baseball together. Their friendship grew and Kevin’s meticulous
mastery and artistry became a goal for Peter’s builds. Peter’s attention
to detail pushed him to build high quality instruments that were
aesthetically stunning, uniquely designed, and embodied a strong
musically appealing tone.
Peter’s interest for Ukuleles was
sparked during a visit to one of his friends in the winter of 2018 and
coincidentally a trip to Hawaii in February of 2019 further enhanced his
interest for the small happy instrument.
Pairing
years of guitar building experience with his new found love is what
drives this builder to push the boundaries of lutherie with a vision to
build a ukulele like no other.
“It is with passion
and love that a Cornerstone Ukulele is created. Each of my ukuleles is
handcrafted and every instrument is a labor of love and dedication. My
desire is for my passion to fuel yours…”
