Hello dear members of the alto guitar group!

I'm happy to announce that within a very short time a new site will be
published. I'm hoping to move all the activity of this Yahoo Group to
that new site.

The adress will be altoguitar.com (at the moment redirecting to the
Yahoo Group).
The site is pretty much finished and I am just solving a few technical
and design issues.

There will be a forum, with alot more features than the present one.
Also there will be a gallery where you all may upload pictures and
hopefully even short movie-clips. There is a commentsystem in the
gallery so you will have the opportunity to comment on posted pictures.

A download section is obligatory! So there will of course be one. Here
you can upload and download tabulature, sheet music, sound and movie
clips (of your concert maybe...?) and other files.

The site is a portal built in PHP, so it is very flexible and should
be able to suit all our needs. With the modules and features already
included it can do everything the Yahoo Group can and much more, but
better!

I'm hoping that the portal will be the natural place to go for people
who play, build and know the instrument. But also the first place you
would go as a beginner or just to find out what the alto guitar is.

Eventually there will be articles explaining how to play and how to
transcribe for the instrument. I'm hoping you guys will help out with
interesting articles.

I'm also eager to build a list of luthiers making alto guitars.



Just wanted to update you all.
Looking forward to launch the site and hear your comments.
Feel free to voice your opinion and give me suggestions on what to
include in the portal.

Regards.
