Echos from the Montreal Guitar Show

The Montreal Guitar Show experience was a reel pleasure ! Meeting all these guitar amateurs as well as other luthiers is priceless. We will most certainly be back next year!







































(In the second picture, we can see guitar players Roger Lapierre and Michel Beauchamp during the mini-concert that took place Friday the 1st of July.)


The Guitar Player magazine talks about us!

We are very proud to be mentioned in no less than the Guitar Player magazine. Out of the 130 luthiers present at the Montreal Guitar Show, the journalist Barry Cleveland underlines the forward-thinking work of ten amongst them, Les Guitares Moisan being the first of those ten !

The article is available here.


A Guitares Moisan article in the Guitarmaker magazine!

Yet another reason to be proud ! The article Surgery of a broken headstock, which has been avaible for a while in the Articles page of the Guitares Moisan web site, has been published in the Guitarmaker magasine. This magazine, published by the Association of Stringed Instrument Maker, is aimed at both professional and amateur luthiers.

Note that the spectacular guitar that is shown here after on the cover of the magazine is not a Moisan guitar, but rather the Andamento guitar, made by Ervin Somogyi.
