Here are some snapshots I took at this year's Acoustic Guitar Festival
in Healdsburg. As usual, the attendance was very good, and about 130 of the country's
finest luthiers displayed their latest work. Most of the makers with whom I spoke
felt that this was the best show ever. Guitar players came from all over to try
and to buy!
Unfortunately, the only real light in the gallery came from the windows, so there
were lots of instruments and makers I couldn't photograph without disturbing them,
or having them abandon a customer to move to better light. These are just the photos
that came out well. . .
