String Break 2

A celebration of contemporary Lutherie (with performances and masterclasses from Will McNicol, Toria Wooff, John Smith & more!)

’String Break’ is a celebration of modern Lutherie.

We're going big this year, showcasing the work of 25 makers with masterclasses from Will McNicol and John Smith, a luthier panel discussion and performances from Will, John and Toria Wooff in the evening. We've added a dedicated listening space for folks to try out their favourite guitars too!

String Break is proudly supported by Stewmac, LR Baggs, Ernie Ball and Elixir
