As someone mentioned, Somogyi has been a fount of knowledge, inspiration and training for some of the very best builders around--Beauregard, Gaffney, Buendia, Kostal, Kraut, Matsuda, Ebata, Fredell.
A bunch of very talented builders have been associated with the Santa Cruz / SCGC crowd.
We're very lucky up here in the SF Bay Area. There's more talented luthiers than you can shake a stick at.
