He seemed to enjoy it. I figure he should be done with Kopprasch by Christmas!
His tone must be a little stuffy. He will have to work on that.

He seems to be sitting a bit low. Maybe he needs new corks.

I have a great picture of my grandson at six months of age, sitting in my guitar case with plenty of room to spare, strumming my old Gibson.

I'm surprised no one else has noticed this. He seems to be having the same problem I do after I haven't practiced for a while. He doesn't know which end to blow into.
