Healdsburg Guitar Festival 2007: Fred Carlson
August 28th, 2007
Fred Carlson had some of his marvelous creations on display. The one on the left is called a Sympitar and features a number of sympathetic strings that run through a hollow neck. The instrument in the middle photo is a Harp-Sympitar and includes sympathetic strings, sub-basses and super-trebles. I’m sure glad I don’t have to tune it but I do wish I was the guy who supplied Fred with strings. In the photo on the right that’s Fred in the hat with Gregg Miner, the Head Fred at Harpguitars.net and an FJ contributor. Speaking of Gregg Miner, NPR just did a segment on him and his harp guitars.-MJS
