Fourteen-year GAL member Dan’l Brazinski has been a picker since he was ten, and he got into lutherie work to afford nicer instruments. A local luthier warned him to quit before he was bitten by the bug but it was, of course, too late. That luthier later gave Dan’l his American Lutherie collection, beginning with AL#1. Dan’l’s eighteen-year-old son Luke Deuce grew up in the shop and began picking at an early age. Dan’l says, “I love it when people ask Luke about his ‘pre-war Martin,’ which he built in 2015.” He also has two Cheagals (Chihuahua/Dachshund/Beagles).
