Benefactors
I would like to make special mention of some of the people who have made major contributions to the project...
Ralphine Harris
Ralphine has, for most of 2007 and 2008, provided the physical infrastructure for the prototyping workshop. Without her genrerosity, the project would have been impossible.
Tim Maslen
Tim provided the the workshop facilities for the first proof-of-concept instrument as well as many hours of fruitful discussion concerning all aspects of the project.
Bob provided the initial germ of the idea; a guitar that an African orphan can make for themselves. Bob has also been very enthusiastic and encouraging when play testing the instruments.
Mic very genrously sponsored one of the first prototypes and is now the proud owner of SN 008, a four string "tenor guitar". I am very pleased to be involved with Mic's music as I have admired and enjoyed it for many years.
Rakesh Bhula
Rakesh very genrously provided additional tools to the project after briefly meeting me at a trade show in Brisbane in May 2008. I am very grateful for his random act of kindness and intend to put it to very good use.

Thank you very much to the generous person who sponsored me to go to a trade show in Brisbane in May 2008. The show generated a lot of interest in the project and I know it will be a major milestone in the project's success.
