   This is a guitar that I built for display and demonstration at a week long event known as Guitarfest West staged by the Mount Royal Univesity in Calgary. It is an educational event attracts guitar students of all ages to engage with professional guitarists. Events include concerts and a luthiers display where guitars are displayed and played. As part of this each of the guitars are demonstrated by one of the professional guitarists. This guitar attracted the attention of one of them to the extrent that, after to formal display session was over, he played it for about an hour. Pieces includded the entire Bach Chaconne. I was very pleased with what I heard. I haave now built about 30 guiitars with this architecture and my clients (several teachers, talented students and hobby guitarists) have praised them. I continue to keep my prices low and I am told they represent excellent value for the money.
