I just returned from the Northwoods seminar at the Galloup School in Michigan. There were so many great lectures and demonstrations that it was literally like drinking from a firehose the entire time. 
Here was the lineup for this year's seminar.

  • Rob Magargal and Andy Kirby - Taylor warranty repair
Day 2
  • Joe Glaser - Vintage repairs
  • Paul Heumiller (Dream Guiatrs) - Giving back to lutherie
  • Isaac Jang - Guitar presentation
  • TJ Thompson - Bar fretting and repairs
Day 3
  • Dick Boak, Roger Sadowsky and Michael Gurian - Panel discussion
  • Jaime Aulson - Inlay design
  • Michael Bashkin - Shop Efficiency 
  • Tom Dougherty - Musical instrument casing
Day 4
  • Doug and Sharon Proper - French polishing
  • Jamie Gale - The future of Lutherie

As you can see it was literally an all star lineup. I have the utmost respect and gratitude for all those that presented and willingly shared their knowledge and experiences. 
 
 
 

When Bryan Galloup decides to offer this event again you MUST attend. It is a great opportunity to learn from the best!
Speaking of learning opportunity - I just had a student cancel his upcoming class and am able to offer it to someone that is not already on my schedule. The dates are December 4 - 9. We can spend six days together building either a classical or steel string guitar in a one on one class. I don't get many cancellations so take advantage of this opportunity if you can. Please contact me for more info and to reserve the dates. 

Follow me on Facebook or Instagram to learn about all of the updates on classes, online courses and other special offers. 
If you are interested in learning to build guitars or just want
to see how I build my guitars then schedule a class with me.
If you are in need of a concert quality classical or steel string
guitar then let me know as I would love to build a guitar for you.

Thank you,
