S4E3. Kevin Muiderman

“My niche now in the professional world is tailoring tones to the player.”

Kevin Muiderman combines musical passion with a dogged scientific approach that not only refines through prototype after prototype, but boldly eschews some of the conventional lore and wisdom about tonewoods. He’s always worked closely with musicians, especially professional fingerstyle players, to refine guitars for their style, needs and unique demands. And you can trust he’s been getting good feedback, considering the list of guitarists who play his guitars includes Leo Kottke, John Doyle, Martin Simpson, and plenty more! An accomplished fingerstylist himself, the music he plays, the players he builds for, and the community he nurtures through his house concert series are all a part of a cohesive picture. This year, as he continues to build for others, you’ll find Kevin out playing his own music, on his own guitars.
