ASIA 2009
Last Summer (2009) I attended the Association of Stringed Instrument Artisans (ASIA). I had a great time visiting with friends from 2007 and making new freinds. There is such a feeling of comraderie among that group of instrument makers. Above are two guitars, a mandolin and a matching mandola I displayed in the exhibit hall. I was also able to bring back a great assortment of rosewood and tight grained curly maple for the next instruments.
