"Yuki played at our wedding in July at the Old Marylebone Town Hall, and we couldn't have been happier with his performance. He was very professional from start to finish. When I contacted him, he responded promptly and provided us with a wonderful selection of music for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he arrived at the town hall ahead of time, ensuring everything was set up without causing us any stress. His performance was beautiful, and our guests thoroughly enjoyed it. Yuki's music added an extra special touch to our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend him for any special occasion."

"Mike was very professional in his approach both before the event and on the day, turning up early. He listened and took feedback well and had even prepared 2 different timings for our chosen songs just in case we were running behind on time. He was a positive person and helped keep the energy of the event up the whole afternoon! Couldn't fault any of the tracks he played. We had a great response from our audience. Would definitely recommend/use him again. "

What are the different types of guitar available?
1. Acoustic Guitar: An acoustic guitar is a traditional guitar that uses only an acoustic soundboard to help transmit the strings energy into the air to produce its sound. They are versatile and commonly used in various music genres. 2. Classical Guitar: Classical guitars are a type of acoustic guitar specifically designed for classical music. They have nylon strings which produce a mellow and warm tone, and a wide neck, allowing for specific fingerpicking techniques. 3. Electro-Acoustic Guitar: An electro-acoustic guitar is essentially an acoustic guitar fitted with a pickup or a microphone, allowing it to be plugged into an amplifier or sound system. This type of guitar can be played acoustically or amplified for larger performances. 4. Electric Guitar: Electric guitars use pickups and amplifiers to produce sound. They have a solid body, which can be made of various materials, and steel strings. Electric guitars are a staple in rock, jazz, blues, and many other modern music genres. 5. Gypsy Jazz Guitar: Gypsy jazz guitars are similar in appearance to traditional acoustic guitars but have specific design elements such as a petite bouche ("small mouth") soundhole and a distinctive D-shaped soundhole. These guitars are associated with the gypsy jazz style popularised by Django Reinhardt. Apart from these, there are other specialised types of guitars like resonator guitars, 12-string guitars, and baritone guitars, each designed to produce specific tones and serve particular musical styles.
