Nice shopping experience even from the other side of the globe

I purchased Guembri gut strings and have just received them. I live in Japan and was a bit worried to procure strings from the other side of the globe, but the transaction was super smooth and lightning fast. I collect gut strings from around the world and Moroccan strings are very unique and I really love the texture. Thank you so much for this very nice shopping experience!

A wonderful experience

I am a bass and other string instrument player and was looking for the guembri sound in www. I found the beautiful instruments of Hassan. I fell in love with one instrument in video and Hassan sold exactly this to me. It is nice to hear what you will get. The communication was easy and shipping was perfect... I play for hours now and i am happy for the new inspiration in learning. I knew, soon guembri will be new part of my voice.
Thank you from the heart to Hassan and Sanne.

Small Guembri for travelers

I ordered a small Guembri for travel and the service was perfect. The parcel was very well packed and arrived in France right on time. The instrument is solid, well tuned and sounds just like the video they made for me. If your looking for a real Guembri, some instrument you can enjoy yourself with, this is the right place.

Guembri - what a beautiful instrument

I ordered a guembri from yellowworkshop. Hassan contacted me and we mailed about some details. The instrument turned out great. I really love the look and sound. I'm beginning to learn a new, totally different instrument (I'm a bass player)

Professionalism and quality

I ordered Guebri, large one peace, hat, strap, karqabat and amplifier all the way to Sweden. Everything works and sounds great. I am overwhelmed with quality on all things. Especially the workmanship and the wonderful sound of Guembri, I love it.
I paid via Wester Union. Communication was nice, fast and easy.
Thanx Hassan and Sanne!!!

Master Gimbri Maker

Hassan is a master gimbri maker, and creates superb instruments that look and sound SO amazing. After investigating buying a gimbri from 2-3 other sources in Essaouira, I am SO glad I was able to connect with Yellow Workshop and get one from Hassan. He was very personable and easy to deal with. I also purchased a case and strap, and it was all packaged and shipped very professionally to the US. (When I unpacked it, my sculptor husband said "I didn't know it would be so beautiful!") Would definitely recommend to anyone considering purchasing a professional level gimbri.
