Josef Camilleri

Josef Camilleri’s passion for music and guitars led him to establish Cross Guitar Works, where he builds and repairs instruments for local bands. A standout project was redesigning and crafting a Harp Guitar used in traditional Għana performances, also known as Tal-Qrun or Tat-Tromba. Based in Qormi, Josef studied the techniques of renowned guitar maker and Għana musician Indri l-Pupa, learning the intricacies of his distinctive instruments. Committed to innovation, Josef updates traditional guitar-building methods, enhancing materials, playability, and sound quality while preserving the instrument’s cultural heritage.
