Inside Vol. 2 No. 3: A Lutherie Column, Album Reviews, and Industry News
Share
The latest issue of MusiCurate reaches our digital library on June 24 for subscribers, a week before it opens to everyone on July 1, with print editions shipping in July. Vol. 2 No. 3 is also a small turning point in how we cover the classical guitar. Alongside the interviews and educational columns you already know, this issue introduces three new sections that widen the lens from the music on the page to the people, the instruments, and the recordings that surround it.
A New Lutherie Column
The guitar is only half a story without the people who build it. Our new Lutherie column turns its attention to the craft of the instrument itself, the makers, the materials, and the decisions that shape how a guitar sounds and feels in the hands. For players who have only ever thought about what they play, it is an invitation to think about what they play it on.
Our First Album Reviews
For the first time in our pages, we are reviewing recordings. This is a deliberate step. A magazine that reviews albums is doing more than reporting; it is taking a position, engaging with the work of today's artists as a participant in the conversation rather than a bystander. We approach it the way we approach everything else, with care for the music and respect for the people making it.
Industry News
A dedicated industry news section keeps you current on the wider world of the classical guitar, the releases, the events, and the developments worth knowing about. It is the connective tissue between the artists we feature and the field they work in.
How to Read It
Subscribers can read Vol. 2 No. 3 in our digital library beginning June 24, a week ahead of everyone else; the issue opens to all readers on July 1. Print copies ship in July, and you can reserve the issue on its own as a single issue. To read every issue first and receive it as it lands, in print or digitally, explore a subscription.
These three sections are a sign of where the magazine is going: deeper into the full world of the guitar, not just the notes, but the instruments, the recordings, and the people who give the music its life.
