I'm back from the weekend, knackered, but it was worth it.
Here's our stand.
Ray Black from Geelong discuss the finer points of his mandolins.
Alan Funk from Adelaide makes White Swallow banjo's,
Finn Matthews instruments were amazing. The two arch-top ukes fitted into what looks like a pirates chest which has a built in amp.
John Liddy's Arch top guitars and mandolins.
Joe Gallacher from Albury makes what are probably the nicest blugrass dreadnoughts in the country. Didn't get pics of his guitars but I caught him bending some fretwire.
I didn't get any of Jack Spira's instruments either but needless to say they were superb as usual.
David Churchill from Bendigo makes very, very nice cedar topped guitars.
He's on the left chatting with harp maker Brandon Lasalles
Ian Noyce has been one of Australia's foremost luthiers for many years and pioneered CNC methods years ago, building and programming his self built machines.
Scott Wise drove across the Nullarbor after Playmakers in Albany to exhibit.
Brandon LaSalles is a harp maker from New South Wales.
And here are some random pics.
