I am thrilled to hear that korean guitarist Honam Ji has recorded an album using a guitar made by me. I don’t think it is available outside of Korea just yet but this video sounds great.

A few of the concerts from the Granada Guitar Festival were lived streamed and I just realized that they are still up on youtube. I enjoyed the ones I saw so check them out on the EGF channel.

I got back last weekend from a visit to my family in Canada. Let’s just say it was something which couldn’t be postponed. After a few days to get over jet lag and general fatigue I am back at work finishing up a few instruments. They should be ready for varnishing by the end of the month but then I will need to get right to the next ones. In the picture you can see some pieces for a rosette left from the things left behind when my teacher died. I have yet to decide how to frame this central motive but it will be with natural colours for sure.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time has left us. I never had a chance to see him play but I certainly enjoyed his recordings over the years. I also appreciate the willingness and interest he had in collaborating with guitar-makers, most notably Romanillos and Rubio. Rest in Peace.
