The most 
recent guitar making course run by the Institute was completed by its 6 participants, four from the UK, one from Canada and one from the USA. We made 4 classical guitars and 2 flamencos. The guitar making course was run by Stephen Hill himself , assisted by Pablo Requena as second teacher.
We were especially honoured to have Gary Ryan from the UK play some of the guitars made during the course at our diploma ceremony. In the words of one student ¨ The guitar making course lived up to and a great deal more than the high expectations I had. I feel so sorry for my poor guitar now. There will never be another moment in its lifetime like last night, having the Maestro play Hot Club at its unveiling ! It was a very special emotional moment for me that I will never forget.¨
