Beautiful, Roger. I heard you play at Fran's party earlier this year - between Kathy's gift for building and voicing guitars and your musical sensibilities, the world is in for some fine guitar music! I hope there will be youtube or soundcloud clips at least.

Best,
Jayne

Default Kathy Wingert Harp Guitar #8

I think I've been bitten by the harp guitar bug..... and looking at an instrument like this- I'm beginning to realize how much trouble I might be in! ;-)

It's a stunning instrument- may you enjoy it for a very long time!

Rog, wow, what a beaut! The cool thing here as some others who have heard you play have alluded to is that you have the ability to make this incredible guitar sing. And that's just sooo cool! I'm really looking forward to hearing what you come up with, I know it will be inspiring!

Now back to my woodshed and plucking that #85 gauge string! ;-)
