By the way, there's a luthier who lives in Bergen who makes Selmer-style Guitars. He brought two guitars with him to the Django-festival in Oslo this year. One D-hole and one oval hole. I saw Titi Bamberger trying them and he said that they were pretty good. I expecially liked the sound of the oval-hole guitar, it was a very nice and warm sound. They might be worth checking out.

We were discussing where to buy a Gypsy guitar in Norway but it isn't easy!
So, does any of you live in Trondheim?
