About Bert van der Moer

Author Image

When I was young (yup, thats some time ago) I played a lot of guitar and together with a good friend we built and modified some instruments. That was around 1959.
Time passes.
At retirement in 2004, I decided to not continue my career (corporate IT was going down the drain anyway), but restart building guitars and writing books about that.
So here I am, 6 books down the road and one in the making. Some hardcopy butnowadays also in eBook format.
Have fun,
Bert
