Re: American Made
I feel much the way Tacona does. I will say that I could get this same feeling from working with Steve Gilchrist or another small foreign builder. There is something special about the relationship that grows between a builder and buyer. I recently had a very good and close relationship with Andrew Mowry inspite of the huge mile seperation between us. That relationship comes not from the country of origin or distance, but a very intangible relationship where a person is able to build anothers dream. This was especially true of the GOM I had build. Andrew had never built with walnut on any instrument or applied his cool art deco head stock usually used for A models to his GOMS. I have to give Andrew a lot of credit for being willing to try some new ideas. The final result was breathtaking and the sound did not suffer one bit. Buying an instrument from a dealer is great, but having one built by a luthier that matches your dreams, unmatched.
