From Tree to Tone invites visitors into the world of Avalon Guitars, where wood, skill and sound come together to create something really special. Meet John McCartin, the celebrated traditional Irish guitar player, and the craftsmen behind the brand as they share the story of how each guitar is crafted. See the journey each instrument takes from carefully chosen timber to a finished piece, then hear and try these world‑class guitars for yourself, and learn why Avalon guitars are played by artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Katie Melua and Ricky Warwick. This engaging experience offers a fascinating and rare glimpse behind the scenes of a world‑renowned maker.
