That is the main music store in town. They offer a huge selection of guitars and all kind of instruments. Those guys even offer music lesson and Tina is in charge of the music school at the store.

All type of strings are on shelves, which is really rare as people usually go for the basics only. They also organize clinics and of course concerts.

That is another great music store! The you dream to have in your neighborhood. Sandy is running the place for 18 years now and get really involved in the community. The store has a great selection of instruments but also all type of accessories for us musicians.

All type of strings for instance, which is really rare as people usually go for the basics only. Sandy uses to organize clinics and a bunch of guitarists came to attend this short seminar I was giving. The “How Guitars are Made” is probably what catch people’s interest. The scalloped bracing and wood selection are really the appealing part of the clinc.

Showing you can play any style on nylon strings is a great surprise for everyone. Jazz to classical swinging by country music… all is possible. The Alhambra guitars are so loud I can play without a PA system. The guys had a good time playing for hours!!!! after my concert.

And they started a guitar club right after. How cool is that ?
