The Musician's Room: What's New in the Studio?

10/19/2025 I've updated that article just below about the Taylor 717e to include where to get the tools necessary to adjust the Action Control Neck. You can find that update, HERE.

10/03/2025 Back on 08/06/2025, I reported that I was ambushed by an amplifier at my local guitar store while on vacation. Well, that was only half of the story: I was also ambushed by a guitar. Guitars being the complex beasts that they are, I gave the instrument a while before I completed its review. But it is up now, and you can enjoy it, HERE.

09/15/2025 I built this page and forgot to post it on the news: A few days ago my wife took me out to see the 2025 Military Aviation Museum and Virginia Symphony Flying Proms. Being that I am a WWII aviation fan and a classical music fan, that was pretty special. You can get an idea of what it was like over HERE.

08/06/2025 I was ambushed by an acoustic amplifier at a guitar dealer! Of course, being ambushed by guitar gear is a pleasant experience, so you can learn about the Taylor Circa 74 that "got me" over HERE.

07/23/2025 Vacation is always hard on the wallet and my last one was no exception.

06/23/2025 I had a fun session in the studio last Friday. You can peek in on the scene, HERE. UPDATE: Pictures added, 06/25/2025.

04/29/2025 It is seasonal maintenance time for the harmonium! I needed to do some tweaks after the winter months and you can find out what that involved HERE.

04/23/2025 I recently found a really useful accessory for multi-speaker guitar cabinets called Plug and Play that allows you to select impedance on the fly. Find out about it, HERE.

04/14/2025 My engineer friend David and I have just revived a fifty-year-old analog friend. Find out more, HERE.

03/21/2025 I've just learned some fun synthesizer lessons by reviewing classic records I love. You can travel down that path with me, HERE.

02/15/2025 Friday fun! Working wih the two Behringer synths in the studio.

02/01/2025 Enter the Behringer 2600 reproduction of the venerable Arp 2600 synthesizer.
01/18/2025 A couple of days worth of sessions to start an album project.
