Spanish guitar show promises expansion

Bigger international presence and larger range of guitars promised at second outing of Guitar Fair

The event, scheduled to take place at the Malaga Tradeshow and Congress Centre (FYMCA) from 5th-8th November, will also host the Gallardo del Rey International Guitar Competition. 

Following the success of the first show, which was attended by 5,000 visitors, the organisers say the chief objective of the next one will be to increase the number of international brands, visitors and luthiers, with a broader offering of instruments.

Talks, clinics and conferences revolving around instrument design and the business opportunities stemming from international demand – from markets such as Germany, the US and Japan – as well as demonstrations and exhibitions will feature.

Hosted by FYMCA, the event will be open to the public from 5-7 November from 10am-7pm, and Sunday, 8 November, from 10am-3pm. More information at  www.guitarfair.net.
