linuxcaffe gets the best present EVER !; a Kettar !

David and Kettar
Wonderful guitar maker, delightful Dad and general creative genius, Mark Kett, has given the caffe (well.. me.. actually) an incredibly awesome gift; the linuxcaffe Kettar. (a Kettar is a musical instrument shaped a lot like a guitar, but with other magical qualities infused by it's maker)

This instrument was many years in the making, and has undergone several physical and karmic conversions. It is made of Brazilian rosewood and Myrtle, and is emblazoned with a fiery fusion of the Ubuntu Canada symbol, a modest "linuxcaffe" mark, and seems to be able to absorb the love, hope and inspiration of all who hold it. (ok.. that's what I tell myself, anyways) It will be kept out in the open, ready for sharing, and I hope you'll visit soon and hear (or make) it's brilliant mellow tones ring out. I know it has magic properties, because the moment I picked it up, I could instantly play 1.618 times better !

Mark is also the spark of brilliance behind the not-quite-related linuxguitar.org project, where collaborators are invited to co-create a groundbreaking new type of stringed instrument, with mind-blowing features and running linux.

photos as time and lighting permit. As always, they will be posted to Flikr, with the "linuxcaffe" tag.
