The wait is over! The first Kathrin Hauser to hit the United States will be landing at Trilogy Guitars next week. Kathrin has been working with her father in the Hauser workshop for many years honing her skills, embracing the craft, and helping Hermann III turn out some of most beautiful classical guitars available (quite a few of those we had the pleasure of handling!).

Here are a couple of links from the around the web to satisfy your classical, jazz and steel string desires!

I am a huge proponent of acoustic instruments, acoustic music and especially solo guitar. I love the simplicity, the directness of the tone and the close connection to the performer. But sometimes gear and electronics are just way too cool!

We had quite a week, two weeks here at the shop and Tie-Block #1 is here to wrap it up for you! We welcomed not a only a great performer to the Trilogy Triangle but an exciting new builder and a fantastic new case as well. More after the jump.

Our wonderful insurance provider, Heritage Insurance Services Inc., has just sent out another great newsletter highlighting the differences between your Homeowners insurance and that of a dedicated musical instrument provider. This is a common concern and Heritage has the precise answers for you here. These are reasons we use Heritage to cover not only Trilogy Guitars but our personal instruments as well. Below is the reprint of the Heritage newsletter. Enjoy!

I know it's been a little quiet here in Ryan's Room but that is about to change in a big way! Here's a little teaser photo of what's to come.

I was travelling through London with my sister in December of 2007 when we decided to take a quick train ride out of the city and say hi to luthier extraordinaire Michael Gee and pick out the Brazilian rosewood for Trilogy's next instrument.

Our next guitar will be one of four special editions Michael is building for his 30th Anniversary as a guitar builder!

"Trilogy Futures" will be the new home for photos and info on incoming classical, flamenco and acoustic guitars! Here are a few sneak peeks at our New Herman Hauser III Special Edition that will be landing at Trilogy very shortly!

It was an exciting time around Trilogy Guitars this past weekend as we presented a SOLD OUT Andrew York concert and also began our collaboration with the fantastic artist Timothy Williams, who hung a variety of pieces around the shop! 

We are sad to announce the passing of Ramón de Algeciras, brother of and accompanist to the great Paco de Lucia.
