About Guitaresque

Guitaresque is a Singapore-based non-professional classical guitar quartet. All our members are full-time working professionals but have come together because of our shared passion for guitar music.

We are alumni members of the NUS Guitar Ensemble (GENUS), the premier Niibori-styled guitar orchestra in Singapore, founded by Mr Alex Abisheganaden.

Guitaresque won the first prize and second prize (ensemble) in the 2004 and 2001 Singapore Guitar Festival Competition respectively.

BAM guitar cases

Ivan and I were recently talking about getting new homes for our guitars. (No, we're not selling our lovely "mistresses"! )

Rather, we were looking for premium guitar cases to house them.

A quick search on the internet yielded a couple of choices, and eventually we agreed that the BAM cases afforded a good balance of protection/durability/looks/price(!! Accords and Karuras are simply too expensive! )

Furthermore, I actually saw the actual BAM classical guitar case sometime back, being sold here in Singapore - it was in the Frank Brothers Violins shop located in the Esplanade.

Unfortunately, when we decided to contact the shop, we were told the case had sold out, and new orders were "arriving soon", but no specific time frame could be given. Apparently, BAM (a French company) had decided to only manufacture limited numbers of these cases, and on demand only.

We also tried our luck at SynWin (which listed the BAM case amongst its product category), but met with the same response.

Looks like our lovely "mistresses" have to wait slightly longer, before we can find new homes for them. :)
