| Résumé : |
Harry Shaffer, a luthier and founder of Carbon Sitars, based in
Asheville, NC (USA), combines craftsmanship and technicality in his use of carbon fibre to make the body of his instruments. By marrying aesthetics and acoustic performance, he is helping to guide the sitar into the twenty-first century. |
