Somogyi books in Canberra?

Post by graham mcdonald » Tue Nov 15, 2022 8:43 am

Back in 2009 I wrote an article for American Lutherie, the quarterly journal of the Guild of American Luthiers, which surveyed just about all the books that had been published up to then on guitar building. The GAL has recently added that article to the 'web extras' page of their website www.luth.org (which I think you have to be a member to access) which got me thinking about an update to that article looking at the books which have been published since 2009 and the way lutherie instruction materials have shifted in that time, such as DVDs, on-line tutorials and the proliferation of YouTube videos. I have kept buying most of what has been published in print form, except Ervin Somogyi's two volume The Responsive Guitar. I am wondering if any of my Canberra based colleagues has a copy and if I may borrow them for a few days?

Thanks

Graham
