December 2013 we decided to have a show and tell for local instrument makers. A fantastic day that was very well attended and exceeded our expectations. People could talk to the makers and have a play. Late in the day instruments were showcased by some local players.

Thanks to Alan Warburton who instigated the whole exercise and was the one who started us off about 7 years ago. I did not get a good shot of Alan and his instruments. He is camera shy.
All instruments have been made within that 7 year period.
