Forgot to tell you all.

Chris Wynne and Engineer/ Guitar Builder/Acoustic Specialist David Chin will be giving a free talk and Q&A each day at 2pm on the Exhibition guitars and acoustic tonal/resonance testing we have been doing in the workshops with the Fleta model guitars as well as student guitars.

The project of testing has been running for about 2 years and David has many great findings that has helped produce great sounding guitars. This talk will of course be an intro on his findings and he is planning on sharing further in the near future.

A great time to come chat with him and the students and generally mix with the builders. Our workshops will be open all weekend so you can come and have a look.

Thanks - hope to see you there.

Hello Fiona,

Sounds like it will be a great day out for those fortunate enough to be able to attend. Hopefully its a bumper day and someone will be thoughtful enough to take lots of images on the day and post a detailed report with faces, names, and their respective creations so the rest of us at the ANZLF can breath a little of that Montsalvar air.

Perhaps if David Chin was open to having one of his Q&A sessions uploaded to youtube, someone could catch the video allowing us all to benefit from that also.

All the best

Kim
