Bohemian Jazz Guitars Tribute

Let’s make the finest bohemian vintage guitars sound! We want to present the unknown story of archtop guitars produced between 1930s and 1960s in Schönbach (Luby). Help us make a CD with a book, prepare an exhibition and put on concerts!

Konečně máme natočeno... Omlouváme se za zdržení, teď už konečně máme čas i na odpravení odměn

/English version follows/

Milí příznivci historie českých jazzových kytar.

Předně přijměte naši omluvu, že jsme se tak dlouho neozvali. Sestavení publikace & CD se ale ukázalo být koordinačně i finančně mnohem náročnějším úkolem, než se zdálo. Teď už ale jdeme opravdu do finále. A s tím souvisí i rozeslání slíbených odměn.

Pro ty z vás, kdo si objednali publikaci, posíláme malou ukázku sazby. Berte ji s velkou rezervou, je to verze bez korektur a s angličtinou z Google Translatoru. Věříme ale, že i z téhle podoby je jasné, že se máte na co těšit. K nahlédnutí zde: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rTPzEbo1daW940Zh0TqBEm30M4O0iyOb/view?usp=sharing

A teď asi to, na co se všichni ptáte: odměny. Vezmeme to odzadu.

- Kniha jde do tisku v říjnu a hotová bude na konci listopadu. K vyzvednutí bude na křtu v Praze, osobně v Praze a Kladně... A kdo ji bude chtít poslat, tomu ji pošleme. Se vším se včas ozveme. Podstatné je, že do Vánoc bude!
- Pohlednice máme vyrobené, začátkem září podepíšeme a rozešleme.
- Výrobu obrazů s vámi individuálně probereme v září, během října budou.

Děkujeme za trpělivost a mějte se krásně.

===================

Dear fans of Bohemian jazz guitars.

First of all, we apologies for so long communication pause. The production of the book & CD proved to be a much more demanding task than it seemed, both in terms of project management and funding. However, now we are in the finish line. And this is related to the distribution of promised rewards.

For those of you who have ordered a publication, we are sending a small preview. Please take into consideration, it's a version without proofreading and without professional translation (that is being done right now). But we believe that even from this form that excerpt it is clear that it will be great. View it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rTPzEbo1daW940Zh0TqBEm30M4O0iyOb/view?usp=sharing

Now, what you all want to know: rewards. Let's start with the most important.

- The is sent to be printed in October and will be ready in late November. You will be able to get your copy either at its official release in Prague, personally in Prague and Kladno ... Or we will send it to you. We'll provide more information in future months. What matters is that it will be delivered by Christmas!
- The postcards are ready, we have just to sign them; will be distributed in early September.
- We will contact you regarding the photos on the wall individually in September, you will get them during October.

Thank you for your patience and have a nice time.
