A photo gallery from MinierAcustica 2014 workshop in Urbino, Italy
Here are a few pictures from the workshop at Corte de la Miniera, near Urbino, Italy. The teachers: Russ Barenberg – guitar (USA), Mike Compton – mandolin (USA), Jean-Marie Redon – banjo (France), Henrich Novak – Dobro (Slovakia).
The workshop was held last week of August, the overall atmosphere was great, the food was excellent, people amazing and lots of great music.
My new instrument – Karel Zacal #40, Maple, model C11
I have a new instrument at home (yes, I own it) made by a young Czech builder (and an excellent resonator guitar player) Karel Začal (pronounce Zatsal). (www.conerinstruments.cz, www.facebook.com / karelzacal)
Model C11, serial number # 40, material – maple in an elegant dark design. Beautiful, clear, and velvety sound – typical of maple reso guitars, well balanced across the whole fingerboard – indeed to such an instrument I have long been waiting for! Thank you, Karel!
Minieracustica – acoustic workshop in Urbino, Italy.
Those of you music lovers who are interested in acoustic music can look forward to the acoustic music workshop in the Italian region of Marche near the picturesque town of Urbino, where is my honor to also teach. The combination of lecturers is more than interesting, I can’t wait!

Where I’ll be teaching Dobro in 2014
Beside my Resoland Workshops here are some other ones where I’ll be teaching resonator guitar this year.
First one is at Musique Acoustique in Virton, Belgium next month (www.musiqueacoustique.org). Unfortunately for those who would be interested in my lessons there, the resonator class is already full.
You might visit Norway this summer and enter Risor’s Bluegrass Workshop on July 7.-10.2014 (www.risorbluegrassfestival.no), or if that’s a little too far for you, there is another opportunity this fall – Bluegrass Camp close to Munich, Germany (www.bluegrasscamp.de) in October 10.-13.2014.
