Dimitris Theodoropoulos was born in 1976 in Athens, Greece. He has studied Physics and is the guitarist and the main composer of the gothic metal group Shadows Dance. In 2003 “cold blood industries” released their debut album under the name “A quatrain for the damned”. Since then he has created a luthier shop in which he constructs traditional instruments like oud and cretan lyras. His main purpose is to use Physics in lutherie. He uses TAP TUNING in his acoustic instruments, a method that is used to “tune” the woods and achieve a sonic balance. He also constructs electric guitars, basses, something pretty different from traditional instruments.

Lutherie is an art. The art of converting the soulless wood to a miracle that can speak to you, sing to you and travel your emotions. Lutherie is a science, taught in universities, but there are many things that cannot be taught. The luthier through his intuition can put his trademark to his own creations. It’s not only an art of visible things. The most fascinating is that it is an art of invisible things, ”seen” only by senses. Welcome to this incredible world. My article refers to my latest construction of a Les Paul style guitar with some differences from the original, and it is named so because of the feeling created by the top. Invisible vision! So, let’s get started.
