Guitars

I have been fortunate to have played and owned many

very fine guitars over the years. I am forever indebted to those wizards and magical people of the luthiers profession who create such fine instruments.

Guitars used to record the new album, Cranes in the

Moonlight. include:

– a multi-scale acoustic baritone made by Russel Crosby, a

very talented luthier located in East Jordan, Nova Scotia

– a 12 fret, acoustic small jumbo (Tamar) and an OM (Taw) made

by Simon, Andy and Jack at Brook Guitars, nestled in the

rustic countryside on the edge of the Dartmoor National

Forest in the South West of England,

east of Cornwall.

– An Avian Falcon acoustic baritone

guitar designed by Luthiers Michael Bashkin and

Harry Fleishman.

Guitars used to record Summer Sands & Sleeping Bears

include:

– a mini jumbo acoustic guitar (AJ25cx) known as “The

Raven,” made by luthier Dermot McIlroy, located in

Ireland.

– an exceptional OM photo type made by Florida Luthier

model known as the “Cigar” and and a Mini Mac model dubbed the “Diamond.

Greg Smallman, owned and played by one of my favorite guitarists on the

planet, Steve Reinthal.
