Lucas gets a new Alhambra!

Leave a reply

Lucas has just got a new 1C Alhambra classical guitar. He’s traded in his 3/4 size guitar and now has his very own full size solid top Spanish made guitar. This lovely guitar has a solid red cedar top, with mahogany back and sides. The neck is mahogany with Indian rosewood fingerboard. He can now enjoy a guitar with much great volume and clarity, troche and a much larger range of tonal possibilities. Way to go, this web Lucas!

Nothing’s going to stop Darcy playing his guitar!

Where there's a will...

Darcy had a nasty cut to the tip of his right index finger.  But a little cut wasn’t going to stop Darcy from coming to his lesson and playing his guitar. So with a little help from Mum he taped a guitar pick to his index finger so he could still play his classical guitar pieces. How’s that for determination and ingenuity?
