Finch

Brand History
The Brazilian brand Finch was founded in 1975 by Sebastião Machado da Silva, in search of serving a musical market of "closed doors" to the import and musical fervor of the advent of rock 'n' roll and popular music festivals of the time.

Sebastião Silva, born in Minas Gerais, settled in São Paulo as a child. He worked as a stonemason with his father, studied electronics at SENAI and worked at Metaltex (electronics company).

In search of better conditions, he started working with Vitório Quintilho and specialized in the construction of pickups. After 8 years with Mr. Vitório, he joined  Del Vecchio (second oldest company after Giannini in Brazil) and later Snake / Ookpik in electronic assembly and finishing of guitars and basses. It was at Snake that he met Zé Luiz (painter) and Nelson (joiner), partners in the founding of Finch. However, after some disagreements, his partners let him take over  the company alone.

The instruments were made by hand and individually under the direct supervision of Mr. Sebastião Silva.
