At  my recital I played with Javier Jimenez a locally known guitarrist who gigs at a restaurant.

Has a profound intimate knowledge on music theory and has guided me on keys and notes to play on 4 of the ballads he sang. I also played Nina, Brahms Lullaby and played along a Loreena Mckennitt song Mummers Dance.

Recital

I finally got through travel with my cello to Colombia! And my recital went well
With my best friend. Played a flamenco part in pizzicato (plucking) to her dance!!

New teacher.

Mark E. Pullen, Luthier, shopowner,(North Fulton Violin) and cello teacher has had a serious accident to where he no longer has good use of his shoulder and is now recouperating. He has been my teacher for the past 5 or 6 years. He may still be able to teach but since at this point he is recouperating I have had to find another teacher.

Lindsey Stirling:
Youtube violin sensation has gotten a LuisandClark violin! She says she loves it!

An example of musicians who intelligently select the Luis and Clark instruments!

Please note! Vitally important!

There are numerous imitators, imposters and scammers out there that even our justice system would not be able to keep up! When an item is patented it or copyrighted that means that a carbon copy cannot be legally made and the author or creator of such is the sole proprieter of the original creation and has a right to make a living out of his or her creations. The original creator for the carbon fibre stringed instruments is Luis Leguia and a number of imitators of his product have popped up here and there. As a friend and customer of the Leguias I am enfuriated by the brazen acts of some that have imitated his instruments and even say that THEY are the originators of the carbon fibre stringed instruments. If you are a musician contemplating on getting a carbon fibre instrument look no further than the LuisandClark. If you spend your hard earned money on one of those imitators you maybe sorely disappointed in the long run especially. The LuisandClark instruments were not just made for its durability and there is science and technique behind them. The LuisandClark cannot be successfully imitated w/o knowledge and research and there are those that have seen these instruments and foolishly think that they can make a replica of them and call it their own. Call it what it is -imitators who have small minds that can't come up with their own original success so they try to yank it from those that are rightfully theirs. Just remember these well known cellists, violinists have gotten these instruments and USE IT IN THEIR PERFORMANCES!!

I really am in love with this cello. It is so easy to play, easy to take care of and easier to travel with than the traditional cello. Yet I would at times prefer to play a traditional one since they do have their own characteristic sound. This one has a rich full sound that projects but still a good traditional cello is almost hard to beat!!
