Welcome to the group, Ermanno. I've heard wonderful things about your Weissenborns. I'd love to hear more about the Weissenborn pick-up you offer on your website. I look forward to learning more about your guitars. Welcome!

	herrmann says: 10/11/2013 2:44:35 AM Hi Liz and thanks for you welcome. This pick up is produced by Luca Villani, for me a genius on this matter. One day I tried his acoustic single coil and I falled in love. After 2 years of modifications to fit to my weissenborns it was ready. I judge the sound of my weiss acoustic and the ellectrified by this pick up and the sound is very very similar. I love acoustic sound so this i the one Ciao

	herrmann says: 10/11/2013 9:04:17 AM Thanks Tom the Replica is fascinating and absolutely nothing less than a weissenborn, but only a particular sound, lovely. I am also working on ladder bracing I put inside my last Kona. I wish to find the vintage prewar sound
	Aron says: 10/11/2013 11:41:41 AM Welcome Ermanno my old friend. The koa weissenborn you built me is still making me smile every time I play it :-)
	Zissou Intern says: 10/12/2013 1:24:43 AM Aron, you are indeed fortunate! Emanno built a stunningly beautiful guitar for you.
	herrmann says: 10/12/2013 5:17:51 AM Hi, this makes me pleasure but remember the look hawaiian because made of koa but the heart which gives a good part of the sound i Italian because the braces are from the Val di Fiemme, the valley where Stradivarius chose the wood for violins. The braces are very very important
	Aron says: 10/12/2013 5:47:48 AM The Ferrari of Weissenborns lol :-)
	herrmann says: 10/12/2013 11:51:27 AM I think the best possible materials we can collect in our world is the best we can give. Doesn't matter from what country. I tested a lot of woods, kinds of finish, glues etc. I was the first buiding a weissenborn with the top of Val di Fiemme spruce several years ago, I had built a lot and when last Year Bob Brozman tested one, he looked an expression of surprise when he slided on. Since that moment I understood my way was right
	Liz Williams says: 10/12/2013 2:42:17 PM Ermanno, your post makes me all the more interested in launching a Weissenborn gathering. What heaven it would be to have guitars from all builders to play, admire and be surprised by. From what little I understand of him, Bob Brozman was quite particular about the sound of his Weissenborns.
	herrmann says: 10/13/2013 9:03:02 AM This is the best a guitar player can ask from his instrument: to play several. Another thing could be to create a net of customers where possible maybe meeting ones another or as you say to test several instruments....How to organize this?
	Liz Williams says: 10/13/2013 9:53:51 AM Yes, this is the thing to puzzle out: How to get the guitars and the players in one place.
	Bob Blair says: 10/13/2013 10:29:58 AM As Liz says, some sort of Weissenborn festival is absolutely what is needed. Count me in!
	herrmann says: 10/13/2013 11:33:57 AM Yes a festival could be an idea. The luthiers could send an instrument for selling or not The problem is the shipping expenses to the US and back
