Official Luthiers Forum!

Well, It's that time of year, when we begin thinking about how we can improove our skills working with wood. I know that many of you have read Roger Labbe's review and Robbie O'Brien's review of the class.

Now, for the anouncement:

There will be a class offered March 23, 24, and 25. That is a Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. It will be held in the historic R.E. Brune workshop, just north of Chicago, located in scenic Evanston, Illinois, and will include many French Polish techniques, as well as the oppertunity to handle R.E. Brune's personal collection, and ask any questions you wish.

For full details, please look at my website at www.mebrune.com

If you are interested, please email me at mebrune@hotmail.com, or call me at 847-275-2983.

Marshall Brune

Wish I could be there, good luck with the class. I especially like the part about pawing over the collection.

For those that are interested and able to go study with Marshall I highly recommend it!! It is a great experience. Not only will you get to see first hand Marshall's French Polish technique you will also be able to see the great Brune guitar inventory. Both Marshall and his father and very generous with their time and will answer any questions you might have. If anyone want smore info send me a PM and I will answer any questions about the course.

Marshall,
I will email you want/need me to...I am going to try to make it this time ( as long as everyone stays Healthy) Please email me with cost etc. skg@siestakeyguitars.com
THANKS MY FRIEND!

Dave, I hope you and your wife are in good health
this year. I look foward to seeing you at some point.

Robbie, Thank you very much again for the support
and the kind words about the class. I really enjoyed
having both you and Jon there and had a great deal
of fun.

Dickie, I too enjoy pawing over the collection. I give
everyone who comes an oppertunity to play every
guitar they choose, as long as it is in playing
condition.
