Meet Your Mentor: Leila Sidi
Leila is inspired by the futuristic and resourceful designs of mid-century American and Japanese catalogue guitars. As such, TunaTone instruments are boldly simple, embodying a commitment to the fundamental importance of every element that comprises the whole, finished guitar. Built with accessibility in mind, TunaTone guitars are small, lightweight and geometrically designed to be played comfortably for people of a small stature for long periods of time. Leila knows that guitars are meant to enable a player to do their best playing, not provide a barrier to overcome. In addition to their playability, TunaTone Instruments have a lively and responsive sound, producing a warm and well-rounded tone.
