“Cinnamann Jam Award”

Twee is a smart friend of mine. Good photographer, good graphic artist, (very) good chef  (see “conviviando“), good marketing counselor and good ideas supplier.

So her last contibution was a suggestion to establish a Manne award prize for our customers.

Instead of medals or trophies, the prize will be my own favorite (for self and friends to use and abuse), my cooking speciality: self made, home made, hand made Manne Cinnamon Jam, obviously renamed “CinnaMANN – Jam ” to add a more manneish flavour.

So the reward I want to give is something addressed to the instruments that, during the year, kept the Manne mission moving forward, pushing us to build something new or unique and that let us progress forward using all our knowledge and recipes to build a new and unique instrument, which until now was never created.

So I have chosen 5 instruments that represent this mission statement for 2010.

And the 5 winners are….

Acustica : Davide Borghi

Acoustibass Woody 7-string 33” : Daniele Camarda

Semiacustica Nylon 7-strings : Salvatore Iaconis

Taos Satin Ash 27-fret : Ricky Tonioli

Taos Asymmetrical : Claudio Albertini

To these customers will be delivered a small prize in a jar!

Thanks to all of our customers for keeping alive the Manne spirit for true art and craftsmanship.
