Sheena

This year I've been getting busier than ever so I've taken on a full-time trainee. She's called Sheena Gillbanks. She's a guitarist, accordion player and general talented musician. She had no previous experience as a luthier but I was struck by her determination and enthusiasm. I get a couple of enquiries a week from people wanting to train as a luthier but she stood out.


Since she has started work I've been impressed with how quickly she picks things up and her 'feel' for the job.





















There's a lot to learn but I'm sure she's going to be a fantastic luthier.

There's been another (less productive) addition to the MrGlyn's workforce - Sammy the dog.







He's more of a hinderance than a help but he's fun to have around



This is Sammy in November - getting bigger. The little fella's getting quite a fan club around our part of Auckland.
