Alex Orel Guitarworks

Fair Hill · Cork City

I’m Alex Orel, a working guitarist, guitar teacher & guitar technician based in Fair Hill, Cork City.

I work with players to make their instruments feel & sound their best. I enjoy helping students learn the music they want to play & watching their confidence grow. Performing live as a guitarist & vocalist is also a big part of my musical life.

Workshop services & lessons are available by appointment.

Your guitar, playing right.

Servicing, setups & repairs are available for acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitars, banjos, mandolins, bouzoukis & ukuleles.
