A guembri found a home after one year

A guembri found a home after one year: thanks a lot for your kind advice 12 months ago. For pandemic reasons the instrument stayed in Morocco but I could finally pick it up some weeks ago. It's in Belgium now and doing more than good: real craftsmanship!

Hassan is the best

My wife ordered a guembri for me from Hassan for Christmas as a gift. I am so impressed with Hassan’s workmanship and communication throughout the ordering, building and shipping process. Super friendly, easy to work with and a great artisan. Buy an instrument from Hassan! You will be very happy you did.

Got my Guembri and a Brother

Got my Guembri last week, I live in Los Angeles, California. Morocco Post Office rocks. The Guembri is in excellent shape and as expected sounds great. I got mine with the Fishman Pre amp pick up, which adds to the fun. I was in constant communication with Hassan during the making of my Guembri. Great to have a Brother in Essouira. Shukraan ❤️

Hassan is a humble person

Hassan is a humble person! I asked him to send my my instrument with a friend of mine who visited Morocco! It was late nights! He opened the shop! He took my instrument carefully!

I ll keep my hajhouj safe! And i will treat it carefully!! Thanks brother Hassan

Great Service and Quality

Maalem Hassan's craftsmanship is just outstanding. I owned Guembris before and visited several stores that claim to sell handmade guembris of high quality, but this one made by Maalem Hassan is just amazing. The quality of the wood, the skin, and the strings is perfect. And the service by Maalem Hassan and his patience and follow-up with the delivery and upon the reception are remarkable. Thank you Maalem Hassan and best of luck for the future.

I haven't stopped playing my guembri since it arrived.

I haven't stopped playing my guembri since it arrived. Hassan makes wonderful instruments and is very helpful and a pleasure to do business with. The guembri arrived very well packaged in its own wooden crate. The instrument has a full and resonant sound. As a double bass player I am impressed at how well it projects relative to it's size. It was really helpful that Hassan posted a film of him playing the guembri so that I was able to see and hear it before buying. I will definitely be paying a visit to Yellow Workshop next time I'm in Morocco.

The strings on our Moroccan Ghimbri…

The strings on our Moroccan Ghimbri strings broke in early September. Living in the USA and having traveled to Essaiuria Morocco many times, I decided to search online, as none could be found in America. I found the Yellowworkshop.com in Essaouria Morocco and sent a rapid email. I received a very quick response from Hassan, a very smooth transaction and they were in the mail, the very next day. I’m pleased to say our Gilbride strings arrived two days ago. Once again there is soothing Moroccan Ganawa music swirling around my house.

Great Product (Guembri) and great service. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend Yellow Workshop and their products. The guembri (Small) which I purchased sounds and looks amazing. I also bought 2 hats and a pickup. Hassan sent me responses by emails in a timely manner and he was very professional. The items arrived to me in London, United Kingdom in a very sturdy package which protected the items.

Excellent experience with Yellow Workshop

Hassan is not only a great craftsman, but also a true professional. He is quick to respond to inquiries and arrange the order. Hassan goes to great lengths to fully protect and secure the instruments for shipment. Should any issues come up during the shipment process, Hassan will resolve them right away. The guembris are works of art and sound amazing. My next guembri will definitely be from the Yellow Workshop!
