I went and saw The Dead South in Köln (Cologne). What a great Canadian band and I had an amazing time. It is the fourth time I’ve been to Cologne and I
still haven’t seen the city yet.
All the bindings are on the two new instruments. I’m really pleased with how they have turned out. The snake wood was a bit brittle and difficult to work with
but the end look is gorgeous. The next step is sorting out the fingerboards and fretting. This is where the sitar guitar gets a bit tricky because I’m doing
something I haven’t done before. The sympathetic strings don’t go through the neck on his instrument but instead run parallel to the main strings. For the side
position dots on the double neck I used silver. Unfortunately the photo doesn’t do it justice.

All levels of players are welcomed. It takes place in Oregon,
which is a very beautiful part of North West America.

This year’s Harp Guitar Gathering in America will be
happening in sunny California in October. Will I be going? I
sure would love to, but I will know nearer the time. Check out
the link or click on the picture for more details about the
whole amazing event.

My friend and college in the workshop Daniel Schippers has recent finished the T-Bird. A cross over of a Gibson Firebird and Fender Telecaster. This
one was the prototype made for himself with an aged worn look. I’m tempted to build some kind of electric harp guitar.

My customer Robin has decided to sell his 20 string harp guitar. He
visited the workshop so I can do some work on it. It has a sitka spruce
soundboard and Indian Rosewood back and sides. It has a fretless
bass section, comes with a padded case and a Baggs pickup.
