About this Event

String Break is a celebration of modern Lutherie.


We're going big this year, showcasing the work of 25 makers with masterclasses from Will McNicol and John Smith, a luthier panel discussion and performances from Will, John and Toria Wooff in the evening. We've added a dedicated listening space for folks to try out their favourite guitars too!

String Break is proudly supported by Stewmac, LR Baggs, Ernie Ball and Elixir
