         <title>Quick Update</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, yes, the website does not get updated often.  I would rather work on guitars than websites to be honest. I am sorry.</p>

<p>Summer was quite busy with a lot of repair work, and I got to work on some beautiful things. Hopefully I may be able to show them to you if I get permission from the owners to post pictures. </p>

<p>I am slowly building more of my own instruments, but because I only have so much time and a lot of is spent on repairs, things are done slowly. Hopefully I can show some to you soon.</p>

<p>Fall is near and straight after that comes winter. The weather becomes much drier and can cause problems for instruments, especially acoustic instruments such as guitars, violins, etc. You should make sure that the instrument is stored in an enviroment that is kind to the instrument. Remember, never store guitars in places you would not want to be, for a long period of time. Most instruments are made of wood, and wood is a lot of carbon and water, just like our bodies.</p>

<p>That's it for now, thanks for all your business and drop by if you're in the hood.</p>

<p>Norio</p>]]></description>
