Michael Chapdelaine Talks Muiderman Guitars

In this very special interview, Lindsay sits down with award-winning fingerstyle and classical guitarist Michael Chapdelaine to discuss his years-long collaboration with North Dakota luthier Kevin Muiderman!
Kevin uniquely combines traditional style instruments with innovative modern build techniques that maximize longevity, versatility and projection. As a talented player himself, he seems especially adept at crafting powerful, responsive guitars sure to impress anyone (but especially fingerstylists like Michael!).
While we didn't get to see his entire Muiderman collection, Michael brought his 0000 Mahogany along with him, and did us the honor of playing our in-stock OM Ziricote.

I’m a guitar neophyte , 78 years old and currently learning finger style online. When resting my arthritic fingers I take great pleasure in watching your interviews and demos; they give me great pleasure and encouragement. Your love of music and constant seeking of guitar knowledge makes for an informative and uplifting watch. Keep on doing your great work, you make this old UK man very happy!

Great interview and playing from Michael! You could tell he was really getting into the music. I'm kicking myself I missed the opportunity to play a Muiderman when I was at Carter Vintage - d'oh!

The man most responsible for the Sungha Jung-UA-cam guitar phenomenon. Unrecognized.

[@A21Joker]

why? was he Sungha's teacher?

[@gamegoth1]

Was just listening to Kate Bush, and reminded me of Michael. I didn't know his guitar was named after Kate Bush.

Thanks Lindsey. Hi Kim. Somehow, I listen here and then play that fine paid for guitar from you folks.

This is a wonderful video and subject. I'm a little surprised by the hubbub in the background though.
