SALMASTRO
Freehand Horn

About the maker:
Salmastro pipes are made by the emergent pipemaker Michele Mellone. He has born in Trieste and now he lives in Monferrato, where he has his workshop. Mellone makes only 60-80 pieces each year. The name "Salmastro" comes from the marine habitat and Michele is often inspired by that, even if the style of his pipes is influenced by another of his passions, the design world.

Michele thinks that the real turn in his formation has been through the knowledge of briar, thanks to the regular visits at Romeo's BRIARmill, in Taggia, where Mimmo Romeo, famous pipe maker, has dissipated all doubts that Michele has got from the legends that surrounds the briar.

The original style come from a mix of the most famous Italian and Danish schools. Michele, without nationalistic prejudices, look at them with great interest and admiration, thinking that the renovation of the pipe could also come from the internationalization of this art, giving an impulse to the subjectivity like in Architecture and Design.

His pieces are true Artisan pipes - they not only look stunning, but will also provide a cool and very flavorful smoke.
