Permaculture Folks and Friends,

I am interested in buying a bamboo guitar (see  2 websites listed below). It relates to my music and the beautiful permaculture use of a grass called bamboo. I heard that Yamaha Music made one in 2000 and it was "New Product of the Year" back then. Since that time, they have stopped production. I even called Yamaha Music Corp in Buena Park and talked to staff there about where I could go to purchase one. The guitar is a steel-stringed acoustic: flat-top box of pretty good quality. If you know where I might purchase one, please let me know. If one can't be found, maybe thought about its start-up and production could happen once again. Let me know.

Thanks,

Dennis Pilien
