I spent one year at music school at Capilano College in North Vancouver. It was a very intense course with good instruction and a demanding time schedule. My choice of performance instrument was the classical guitar. I hastily bought one out of the local music store because I had made my choice at the last moment. The brand was Giannini.
Giannini guitars are made by the Tranquilo Giannini S.A. factory, Carlos Weber 124, Sao Paolo, Brazil. They are generally known for being well-made instruments featuring very fancy Brazilian hardwood veneers. Probably the most famous endorser of Giannini guitars was José Feliciano. The model I had was a GN50 Standard and had a yellow spruce top and mahogany neck and body.
It was great sounding instrument but years later I gave it away to a friend of mine who - gulp - put steel strings on it. Then it disappeared after he died. I miss them both.
