Weissenborn Extravaganza!

Hideki Hattori · From: Tokyo, Japan

On 27th October, we had a fabulous show in Yokohama, Japan. gSlide Heaven - Weissenborn Night !h
8 Weissenborns and 11 players and singers are all gathered at the club gThumbs Uph. It was a magnificent view, 5 vintages and 3 modern luthiersf were on stage.

Every groups were playing their Weissenborns in various styles of Hawaiian, Folk, Rock, Blues, Okinawan, etc. At the end of the show, we all played gHula Bluesh together. That was the most delightful scene I've ever had.

That looks like a ton of fun! When will you guys be touring the USA? (I'm only half joking - I'd love to see something like this!)

Cool! You even have someone playing (bottleneck?) Spanish-style.. Was he fretting too?

Can you list the modern luthiers?
