08-28-07 Every other year, in Healdsburg California, luthiers from all around the world gather to share what represents some of
the finest work being done today. Set in the middle of the Russian River Valley wine making area, it is an opportunity for those
who love to build, love to play and (for some of us) love to listen to come together and share three days of terrific weather, good
food, beautiful craftsmanship and great music. This year was no different. Amateurs and professionals meet to share ideas
and to discover others who share the love of instrument making. For the makers, it is a chance to see their creations come to
life in the hands of the artist. It is validation of their passion. For a player, it is like being a kid in a candy store. There are
hundreds of pieces in all shapes and sizes to touch and try. There are other players to gain insight from in the form of
workshops and performances to attend. For those of us who are neither makers nor players, the sight is still overwhelming. The
beauty of the pieces, the colors of the woods, the inlay, the sounds of wood and strings springing to life and the aura of an open
air marketplace make a trip to remember. Dozens of workshops and seminars ranging from Linda Manzer discussing pushing
the envelope on guitar making to Ed Gerhardt discussing polishing your playing technique fill the day offering both builder and
player and opportunity to hone their talents. Workshops are a source of inspiration for both the novice and the experienced.
Showcasing the instruments is a tradition at Healdsburg. There are cabaret performances throughout the day allowing the
visitor to hear the instruments played by skilled musicians. Two of my personal favorites were the twenty minutes spent with Alex
DeGrassi as he demonstrated Fred Carlson’s (www.beyongthetrees.com) 39-string harp sympatar and Ed Gerhardt
mesmerizing the cafe; with tunes played on both a Breedlove Jumbo and their prototype Weissenborn. Innovation filled the air.
Each of the luthiers at the show has dedicated countless hours to their instruments. These builders come from all walks of life
from Radio Engineers to Architects. Some retired, some changing careers others working to balance work with their passion.
Some have been designing and building for years, others are novices making their debut. A new design, from Allan Beardsell
blended nylon string with gypsy jazz. Shelly Park brought her Cylindrical guitar. Matt Mustapick and Howard Klepper showed
pieces that blend museum quality beauty with beautiful tonality. Michihiro Matsuda shows a daring new shape with removable
pieces! Harvey Leach brought not only his inlayed pieces but the Voyager-air® guitar designed with a hinged neck which
allows it to fold into an airline sized carry-on case. Jim Elsberry offers a 5-piece arch top guitar made in the century’s old
tradition of the violin and cello. He has worked both a top and back in this method and is working on a piece which has both
back and front made this way. Women were also showing pieces in increasing number. No longer the exclusive realm of men,
builders such as Linda Manzer with her radical wedge, Monica Esperza crafting traditional Spanish guitars, Shelley Park with her
Gypsy Jazz pieces and Kathy Wingert with her harp guitar are opening the way for others to follow. Sponsored by Luthiers
Mercantile and Acoustic Guitar, the show draws hundreds of builders and admirers from around the world. There were too
many luthiers to mention in these few lines at the show but all have achieved a degree of excellence that comes from a love of
what they do. Many are not full time luthiers, devoting what spare time they have to creating an instrument of beauty. We met
architects, cabinet makers, construction workers, even a postal worker! All were willing and eager to share their love of guitar
building with us. If you play guitar, have thought about building your own, want to touch up your technique as a player or come
in contact with a great group of people, make plans to attend the next festival. It will become a pilgrimage to remember. For

01-13-07Wow! A New Year already! We have been very busy finding a home. And we have one! The Fret Art Gallery will finally
have a real home. A place where you can come and touch and play all the fine instruments we have been gathering over the
past year. We are planning on taking possession of the storefront as of February 1. It will be filled with great pieces from
around the world and we hope you will stop by and say hello. Right now the space is little more than a shell but soon it will
house the Inland Empire's premier center for specialty guitars. We will be back at NAMM this week to meet with vendors who
represent the quality and workmanship we are looking for. We are talking to Reverend, Duesenberg as well as Breedlove and
others. So check out our construction page and we will keep you posted on our progress.
