Todd Hallawell demonstrates an Ervin Somogyi Modified Dreadnought (MD) at the 2009 Healdsburg Guitar Festival at the Santa Rosa Center for the Performing Arts. This MD has very white trim in the fingerboard. To accomplish this, Ervin shaved slivers of Ivory repurposed from the facia of Steinway Grand Piano keys.
Filmed by Oscar Lugo and Andrew Galli • Edited and Audio Mixed by Andrew Galli • Jason Kostal - Best Boy
Look for a 2- Hour DVD featuring Ervin Somogyi lecturing live at the 2009 Healdsburg Festival -- coming soon!

It looks like a clip on tuner. Korg makes one that looks very similar.

If God were to ask what talent he could bestow upon me for life, I'd respond in saying I wish to play guitar as well and as effortlessly as Todd Hallawell.
