Alhambra Model Zero – A Great Student Guitar

ALHAMBRA MODEL ZERO CLOSEUP

The luthiers at the premier Spanish guitar making workshop,  Alhambra, website have just come out with a new student model classical guitar, the model zero.

Alhambra model zero. Made in Spain for just $399

Alhambra model zero. Made in Spain for just $499

This is a lovely matte finished full-sized classical guitar with a solid cedar top. It retails for the amazing price of just $499!

The previous entry point guitar in the Alhambra range was its glossy brother, the model 1C which retails for $699. That’s $200 more than the new model zero.

This new model zero is an amazing guitar for the price. It has a beautiful solid cedar top which gives it a full deep rich bass and a warm sustaining treble, plus there’s heaps of volume.

How can they do it for the price? Maybe they saved on the no-frills matte finish. Probably, but what a guitar! Made in Spain for $499. This is really going to upset the Chinese. The Spanish guitar makers are fighting back!

Greg Bennett C4N Cedar Top Classical Guitar – $399

Numeralla Folk Festival 2011

21st to 24th January

21st to 24th January

more about fantasy;”>Activities

Highlights of this homespun festival are the Bush Dances on Saturday and Sunday nights and Sunday afternoon’s Blackboard Concert, where seasoned professionals and budding artists can chalk their name up to play a couple of songs, recite a poem, spin a yarn or entertain the crowd in any creative way.

Amble about the Country Markets on Sunday morning to pick up a bargain, hear some Numeralla bluegrass music or have a cuppa.

Other features include dance & bluegrass

workshops – no prior skill required!

Food and Drink

There are no shops in the village but you can eat heartily, from breakfast to supper, at the hall. The kitchen is open from nineish in the morning until stumps, serving snacks, hot & cold beverages, delicious home-cooked meals and goodies. The

bar-b-que serves lunch and dinner. Drinks are available at the bar. All are very reasonably priced.

Should you need to stock up on tucker there are shops in Cooma including three supermarkets. Camping gear, music & instrument supplies are well catered for at our sponsor shops in Cooma.

How to get there

The village of Numeralla is situated at the junction of the Numeralla and Badja Rivers, 22km east of the town of Cooma in south eastern New South Wales.

The main route to the village is via Cooma from the Monaro Highway. If you are approaching from Canberra, turn left just after M & T Motors about 4km north of Cooma, then left at the first crossroads (just after an old railway crossing). Once on this road, go straight ahead for 20 km and you’ll be in the village.

There are other routes by which to approach the village. All involve stretches of unsealed but sound road. Petrol is available in Cooma and Braidwood. Please drive carefully – watch out for wildlife on the road, particularly at dawn and dusk.

Accommodation

Enjoy the picturesque campsites in the village. The main site is at the junction of the two rivers. Turn north, just east of the bridge over the Numeralla River. At this site you can enjoy playing or listening to music almost 24 hours every day around the campfires. There are flushing toilets but no showering facilities (the river is available for refreshing dips). You can park your car next to your tent; for safety reasons, we ask that cars not be driven into the campsite after dark.

There is a designated “quiet” campsite on the western side of the bridge, in the grounds of the tennis courts. It is just a short stroll from the hall.

Fire restrictions for each day will apply to all campsites as required by the Rural Fire Service..

If camping is not your style, there are a number of comfortable motels in Cooma offering inexpensive accommodation.

Holiday

In 2011 Australia Day is on Wednesday 26th January. There will not be any official activities at the festival on that day or Tuesday but the campground will still be available and plenty of good music there is assured.

Tickets

There are no tickets. Entry to the festival, the activities and the camping ground are all absolutely free. You don’t have to book, just turn up.

The festival has been running for over three decades, providing a very social and entertaining weekend for folkies and other visitors whilst raising a modest amount of income for Numeralla volunteer groups such as the local bush fire brigade.

The kitchen, bar-b-que, bar and T-shirt sales cover the costs of running the festival and allow for a small donation to be given to community groups in the village. Please support these sales so that we can continue the wonderful tradition of the Numeralla Folk Festival. As far as we know it is the only free festival still running in Australia.

T-shirts

Each year an artist sketches a scene depicting pioneering life or a festival snapshot. Many regular festival goers boast an art gallery in their chest of drawers! At half the price of most festival shirts they are a must-have.
