| General Information: |
| A self-taught amateur maker, principally of guitars and basses, especially interested in locating fine |
| wood and using different types in his instruments. For some years he was an enthusiastic member of the |
| CAS, but recently finds the information too technical. He has given many of his instruments to players, |
| but neither the workmanship nor the acoustics turned them on, and he has become discouraged over the |
| years. |
