My music story : #59 : Arul Guitars

 I was walking back home one day after church and I saw a guitar body being hung out to dry at a workshop! I walked in and it was Arul’s guitar factory! He was building a classical guitar from scratch! He was kind enough to allow me in and he even showed me a harp guitar that he’s making for someone! I had recently seen Andy McKee playing one! He explained to me the process of making guitars and I became a frequent visitor there! He was kind enough to answer every question I had patiently. He made this shop in the memory of his son.  I would’ve learnt to make guitars from him had I stayed there in Kammanahalli. 

Arul passed away during Covid. He had helped me set up my classical guitar and it still plays so good.
