Hey Kevin, unfortunately I am stuck up here in the Great White North or I would gladly drop by and say hello. Have a great time and all the best with the SF UKEFest
For those of you attending, do NOT miss the opportunity to check out a Kinnard in person. Absolutely lovely instruments in all respects: tone, playability, aesthetics and build execution. Precious few are the luthiers who can equal John's precision execution of details. His purfling work sets the standard.
And chatting with Kevin and his lovely wife Deb is an added bonus!
