I just got back from a trip East, where for a day and a half, six of my "family" got together with nine of Jacques Mazzoleni's brood, and guitars were played until my fingers hurt. Attached are a couple of photos we took.
Front row, left to right: Selmer 862, Selmer 448, Selmer 103, Selmer 575, Selmer 763, and Selmer 717.
Second row: The Beast (second from left) with five Busato Grand Modeles.
Third row: Shopis D'Artagnan C, Cousenon Chorus, and Mario Roccia Concert.
Everyone should get to have a day like this once, at least.
The other photo is my fat ass basking in the glow...

I've never been a guitar player, but I've played one on stage.

Um, can I hug one of those? :shock:

Paul in St. Louis
It was a cool day, likely never to be repeated, having all those guitars in one place.

Dinnertimehere Paul that was really Baaad. I was going to do something really healthy but now, it will be Raclette.
Ha! My wife has indulged her former chef-husband by allowing all kinds of monstrosities in our home....(e.g., 1/2 bbl brewing system, my horrible welding, hence the name, "Ugly Betty," years before the show came out). The first pic is of some Beaufort - Some remnant stockpots from our restaurant, built a press, and the caves, two of them (one exclusively for tomme grise), were in our bedroom. I owe her, for that one. I made all French alpine style stuff - Beaufort, reblochon, tommes. My luthier/friend's wife is Swiss......raclette.............ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
