How and why
When keen guitarist, Gerry Dale, began travelling frequently by air, he was dismayed to learn how difficult it was to carry a conventional instrument on board an aircraft.
A quick web search revealed a number of folding or collapsible guitars, but almost all of them featured partial dismantlement, hinges in awkward places or unusual tuning mechanisms.
What Gerry wanted was an instrument that felt like a standard guitar, with conventional tuning and set-up, but could also switch from storage to playing mode in a moment with ease, and the Snap Dragon was born.
Easy to use and fun to play, Snap Dragon guitars are a must have item for musicians on the move and one of the most innovative and desirable gadgets to come on the market since the MP3 player.
