Musical Instrument Value and Dogma

Absolutists, Patrons, and Idiots?

   Coming Soon!!

   One of the reason this project that is Finger Magazine exists is that there is so much mythology and opinon that is agenda driven attached to musical instruments and signal chain electronics as well as techniques in instruction and equipment maintenance. These we intend to explore with video so none need to take our written words as a soul resource. We will continue to SHOW you, with high quality audio and video the performance characteristics of all that we review and discuss. - Doug
