An American Guitar Maker’s Journey to China’s Guitar Town 🎸
Have you ever wondered where guitars come from? Meet Kurtis Hendrick, an American luthier (that’s a fancy word for guitar maker!). Kurtis traveled all the way to Zheng’an, a town in Guizhou Province, China, known as the hometown of guitar-making.
Kurtis has loved making guitars since he was young. When he heard about Zheng’an, where many guitars are crafted every day, he decided to visit. He was amazed by the skilled artisans and the bustling workshops.
In Zheng’an, Kurtis found a new community of people who share his passion for guitars. He connected with local guitar makers, learning from them and sharing his own experiences. Together, they explored new ideas to make guitars even more awesome!
Now, Kurtis feels at home in Zheng’an. He believes that music brings people together, no matter where they come from. Isn’t it amazing how guitars can connect people from different parts of the world? 🎶
Maybe one day, you’ll play a guitar made in Zheng’an, crafted by people like Kurtis and his new friends!
