I would be happy to host a Somogyi and apprentices guitars event. It would be good to do it after Leo Buendia's guitar has arrived and possibly Hiroshi Ogino's too (due to be started soon).

That'd be fantastic! I'd do my utmost to come along too, Kraut in tow. Now, since someone said there must always be pictures... gratuitous close-ups of the fossilized ivory nut & saddle: (those are escapee Hoffee hairs under the wound E string!) The beautiful organic appearance is quite misleading: I expected an almost granular texture to these, but they're mirror smooth, and obviously (literally) rock hard. Ray would have been equally happy using bone, the sonic advantages of ivory being debatable... I love the way this looks though! Jon

interesting detail in the way the saddle is 'undercut' by different amounts on the front (soundhole) edge for string gauge compensation.
Also an interesting aesthetic of the nut with it's embrasure / merlons like form, I had a handmade Spanish guitar decades ago which was the same traditional nut design. http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...psmqy8elud.jpg

Granted though, my main interest is the more modern flat-top steel string guitars... I know next to nothing about traditional Spanish luthiery, or classicals. The intonation of this guitar is spot on, everywhere, so what compensation there is is working perfectly! Jon
