Do you have a question for Jenn or Jonathan?

Jonathan

I was listening to your cd Music for Classical Guitar this AM on the way to work and was wondering what luthier made your guitar----super tone quality,

Bill

[Jonathan]

Thanks Bill! It's a Kohno classical guitar (with a spruce top). It's a professional J model. I got a great deal on it many years ago from a shop in Montana that was going out of business. I think it was built in '93.

Hi,

I was just at the concert at Mission City in San Jose, and turned in the email in exchange for the download card. It turns out the card I got is blank. The bandcamp site wants an 8 digit number for each of the four albums, and my card is blank. Can you help?

[Montana Skies]

Ross,

Sorry about that!! I noticed after the show that same blanks ones got mixed in with the others. I will email you tomorrow with the proper codes. We just got in and I don't have the cards with me now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk to you soon,

Jon

Hi, first I must say you guys are truly incredible! I was curious if you did any private events? and if so what the booking cost would be.

 

thanks!

Saw you Sat night at the house concert in Vinings

Just fantastic ! Wanted to talk to Jonathan after the concert,

but you were tied up . What kind of guitar was that and 

and I'm curious about the sound  hole cover. And do you 

play everything in standard tuning or do you use any 

drop tunings . Seems like you also use a finger pick 

on most tunes but it was hard to see from my seat.

And how do you avoid left hand fatigue and tendonitis?

Thanks

Hey Edward,  My guitar is a Kohno classical guitar. I installed the pickups in it.  I am using RMC brand piezo pickups and an internal mic.  the soundhole cover is by a company called "lutehole".

http://www.lutehole.com/  I don't do much drop tuning.  I do drop to D for the pink floyd but most  everything else is standard.  I do use a finger pick on my thumb.  it is a fred kelly bumble bee pick.  http://fredkellypicks.com/bumble-bee.html  I try to play lightly on the left hand and nylon strings make it easier too.  I also think other types of exercise help to keep the hands in shape too.  i work out a bit and do yoga as well.

Thanks for coming out and listening.  Best, Jon
