Description
Guitars are played by millions of people around the world; but what gives each one a unique sound and feel? Professor Chris Gibson, co-author of The Guitar: Tracing the Grain Back to the Tree (2021), will take us on a globe-spanning journey from guitar shops and factories to remote sawmills and distant rainforests, in order to understand the chains of exploitation and care that make the musical instrument.
