of guitars and life

[flaviomatani]

Ah, a Tuesday I don't have to get up at 5:20 am. My Tuesday school has an 'enrichment' week so no lessons (and no income; if you're an instrumental music teacher you essentially and rroughly get paid for lesson given, if the lesson doesn't happen you don't get paid). Today will be a slow day, which I think I needed.Taking my old Yamaha GC15D guitar to a luthier as the tuning machines broke and although this is a simple job, happens that whilst every other classical guitar in the world has a distance within axles of 35 mm, this one's 39 mm. But I'm not prepared to give up on a guitar that I've had for nigh on half a century and on which I played my graduation exam and concert, etc. Oops, this came out rather longer than I thought. Good morning!

Good morning! I hope your guitar can be fixed.

Thanks. It's with a local luthier, I will have it back next week and then see how they did.
