CITES newly added laws - Dalbergia Latifolia and more wood types
As of the 2nd of January 2017, a new law has been introduced that will affect how Rosewoods are traded across borders. As you well might be aware, most guitar fretboards and bridges are made out of Rosewood and that will have a heavy impact on how easy it is to purchase a guitar with Rosewood.

We owned a small cosy place in Sliema, but never seemed to come up with an idea good enough to give it a purpose. We decided that we should use the locality to gather more students within our lesson schedule. Why not right? Work commenced on the place when soon after we came up with this amazing idea of opening up a Vintage and Used instrument shop
