 Testimonials

​

"Nick Pynn is an incredible musician and early pioneer of live looping before you could buy a 'looper'. One of the best fiddle players out there with a unique take on acoustic guitar that (his teaching) will take you right out of a rutt no doubts."                  

Nick Benjamin- luthier
