Vidovic & Zeravica guitars

Vidovic and Zeravica co-operate

Victor Vidovic starts playing a guitar built by Croatian constructor Marinko Josip Zeravica, a master craftsman currently living and working in Mainz, Germany. About his model, the Sempiterna, Vidovic says: “It is a beautifully crafted instrument, enchanting in its sound colour and volume, the wholeness of its tone spectrum and its magical warmth.“. Vidovic and Zeravica will continue to co-operate, sharing their knowledge and experience.
