Hello All,
Just a wonderful site and very instructive.
I've been playing since 12 and soon became interested in Classical guitars and Baroque music. I bought a couple of Lute kits from the UK in 1979, one of which I gave to Lawrence Smith of LKS guitars http://www.smithguitars.com/
which started him off as a well respected luthier.
In the meantime I started to collect various instruments, did a few gigs, learned to play bass and in the end, I've played almost every style of music out there.
I've got an eclectic knowledge of music - more holes in my understanding than knowledge, but I think I can contribute something to the forum, maybe...
For those who are looking for Giannini - I've some catalogs that you may find interesting. I'll upload them to my site (under construction) and keep you informed.
