Four-year GAL member Todd Cambio builds guitars and mandolins that focus on traditional techniques and materials like ladder bracing, French polishing, and hide glue, as well as domestic woods like birch, white oak, walnut and poplar, which were once frequently used but which have fallen out of favor in modern times. Todd started the Fraulini Guitar Company in 2000 and has worked to provide instruments for traditional musicians. He has also done extensive research on Italian and Mexican immigrant luthiers who built instruments in the early 20th century. He works with his sons Felix, Oscar, and Leo.
