This years summer school went particularly well and all members made good progress with their instruments. These included 2 lutes one completed one still in construction of the bowl back.
One finished Panorma guitar and another just started, Two Primera guitars after a design by Zachary Taylor who supported the members with an appearance most days, whilst working on the prototype of a Lute Guitar. Together with a Sellas Baroque guitar being adapted from 5 courses to a standard 6 string classical guitar.
We were also visited by Luiz Mantovani one half of the Nova Guitar Duo who brought his 8 string Brahms guitar and gave us a sample of his recent repertoire.
Luiz also played a selection of instruments made by members of the group. It is planned to arrange a concert with students known to Luiz who will play instruments produced by group members. Look out for announcements in future weeks.
