Nice work gents.

How many beers do you reckon that lot took?

We've started ordering beer in by the pallet. Thirsty work this lutherie business.

Probably time to mention we makers in the Great Southern, and friends (yes, you too TimS), will be featured in Playmakers 2016 towards the end of February as part of the Perth International Arts Festival season. The theme: 'Home Made, Home Played' ... We'll be turning one of the studios at the Albany Entertainment Centre into a luthier's workshop over the weekend. Also tagging along will be Scott Wise, Paul Duff and Rad Bradshaw. There will be demos and player-maker panel discussions along with performances and a house concert. And no doubt, beer.

Will post the program when launched mid November. This event is also an excuse to celebrate our 10th Anniversary since we Albanians got together in 2005 to learn lutherie. Floor-space camping available at my joint as in previous years. One proviso: bring beer.
