Hi Tim, I see you got in touch with George. I mostly play Bach and Sor (Giuliani, Carcassi, etc.).
Tim,
Since your 2012 post, I have built 7 Panormos based on the plans from the Edinburgh Musical Instrument Museum. Was at the museum in March to do acoustical testing on the original instrument and read a PhD thesis in Cambridge on early 19th Cent guitar building in London. Spent a few days with James Westbrook who is the world's expert on the Panormo. It was a humbling experience. I machine most of my wood, but buy from a suppler in WV, and the normal Lmii and StewMac. LMII will do custom machining. All the Best, George
Hi Timothy. I personally just play copies of early instruments--Romantic guitars. I can provide you with George Thomas email: githomas1812@gmail.com. He has been focusing on Panormo copies but he is also interested in making Torres copies in the future. Lawrence K. Brown in Weaverville NC used to make Lacote copies--after he gave up on lutes and vihuelas--not sure what he is up to these days. Take care, Daniel
Hi Timothy, I am also in Charlotte and interested in early guitars. We have a luthier in town starting to specialize in Panormo copies, George Thomas. There may be enough of us locally to start a group. Best. Daniel
