SERIGNAN DU COMTAT / Pierre Chardonnet, luthier

This time, it is in the beautiful village of Sérignan du comtat, very close to Orange, that Philippe Garcia takes us.

This morning, at a luthier who takes us on a journey through musical instruments based on exotic or local wood species, instruments that he manufactures or restores.

Pierre Chardonnet plays the balafon every day at home and, occasionally, for a few events, alone or with other musician friends.
