Description

Svacko - Retired factory worker.
Used to work as sharpener of tools in factory near place he
live for all his life. He raise up 3 sons with his wife.
Now he is taking care of garden and animals.
He still have passion for music and play during local celebrations. He is quite good :)
Instrument in his hands is very rare and high quality "Machacek" (I have no idea how it's called in English, sory..) that is not in production anymore and recent producers of this kind of instruments can't achieve the same quality of sound.


You can see him also as Sad musician
