This can be a steam based exhibit.

It's essentially the story of sound as told through the guitar being the central narrator of the story so it talks about what sound is how w interact with sound, but it's also about how guitar makes sound and how that sounds modern art is a ghost signal change must be titles and and since the pickups.

There's a lot of things to touch.

So it was working with designer kramer designs out of cincinnati and it really can move forward and we had a great time.

Lots of great conversations with awesome folk like tosh are these great empires and people that you know are very excited about sound and hansen titles.

It is moores excited as we are and so we started to come in together with what the system will look like.

What is your we still wanted to have that great ambience that the guitars gave you when you came in when you sit down to see a show there, you still feel like you're surrounded by music and finishe year cool stuff.

We also wanted really county gauge new demographics really make sure w have stuff that the family can calm and you can really walk ou of there with great know a more robust knowledge of what the guitar is and also hopefully we were humanizing the guitar work anybody who comes in will hopefully with the fact i'm 55 years old or 60 years old and i could play guitar.
