Friendly, modest and welcoming shop!

Ordered a guembri from Hassan and Sanne when I visited and studied with Hassan in february 2018. I custom-ordered it with a lot of specific details, and it came out exactly the way I wanted it. Hassan makes top-notch Guembris that sound amazing. The shipping was also very very secure and safe. I will definetly buy from Hassan again!

A wonderful gem.

Yellow Workshop makes instruments that are beautiful to gaze upon and a joy to play. Hassan is very friendly and courteous and is genuinely concerned with your enjoyment of the instrument. Transactions was easy and shipping was prompt (even to the West Coast of the US!). Please patronize this workshop and help spread beautiful music.

Masterful work at Yellow Workshop in Essaouira

Hassan Laarousi is a master craftsman and has the great idea of playing each Gymbri that he lovingly builds so that customers can hear each instrument's unique tone.
I live in England and needed Gymbri strings, so I ordered from Yellow Workshop. They arrived in a colourful Moroccan-style package.
May Allah bless Hassan and make his work always a joy.

Thank you Yellow Workshop!

As a first time Guembri buyer, the luthier, Hassan, was incredibly helpful and responsive from the first (even though we live on separate continents)! He guided me in the selection of materials and styles that would best suit my needs. He even engraved a custom design on the back of my instrument! I love the guembri itself -gorgeous instrument- and it sounds great too!
The price was reasonable and the item was shipped with the utmost care. Clearly this was a labor of love.

Hassan's guembris are not just beautiful art objects, they are also finely made instruments. Yellow Workshop has my sincere thanks. I hold their work in the highest regard.

A remarkable hand made instrument .

I purchased a Guembri from YELLOW WORKSHOP a little more than a year ago, Not one day has passed without me picking up and playing this wonderful instrument . The sound is rich, the workmanship is remarkable a hand made instrument, a pleasure to own and I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a quality Guembri to get one from HASSAN LAAROUSI and YELLOW WORK SHOP .

P.E. CANADA
It was extremely well packaged including it's own handmade crate, and
Considering it came from North Africa to Maritime Canada, it came quite quickly .

I love my guembri from Yellowworkshop

I love my guembri from Yellowworkshop. I appreciated Hassan's customer service/responsive email communication along the way, he made the process of ordering my custom instrument fun.

Yellowworkshop shipped my instrument safely from Morocco to US/California, there were no problems. I am pleased with the craftsmanship, especially of the complex pattern inlay design, and with the sturdy cowry shell strap I also bought. I took my guembri to a lesson with a Moroccan teacher here who was also impressed with its high quality.

Very helpful

Very helpful. A great help to a new Gnawwa player. Great online support, and amazing videos on YouTube. A shop that is full of fantastic instruments made by a true Morrocan craftsmen. I'd give 10 Stars if possible.
