Visit Guitar Heaven!

Right in DC, take the Metro to Dupont Circle, walk two blocks down Connecticut Avenue, and you'll find yourself in what should be termed "Guitar Heaven" ... call it a museum, call it a shop, call it whatever you want, just visit the space! I suggest it as a great afternoon field trip for homeschoolers or a cold weekend family adventure.
Just this month, it was highlighted in the Sunday Washington Post Magazine's "Closer Inspection."
Check out that harp guitar! Play the guitar strings with the right hand as usual, and then play the 10 harp strings with your left! Tricky pick action! What do you suppose the "Tab" tablature would look like for these players?
