Annual tourism service provider-2017
1. Farm “Typtops” owner Janis Kuzminsky welcome to the Commission in his home yard with his wife Aija and the little son John. The Commission is invited to look at the production facilities that have been covered over the past two years (until then the premises were leased INTO Kaunatas parish). Initially, the owner shows the raw materials – timber stocks from which the final product is created – exclusive guitars. Wood is naturally dried for several years. Some of the timber has been received in a gift and has been around 25 years ago, while other materials (mainly, goba, osis maple) have been prepared by himself and some good wooden boards have been waiting for 18 years for their “transformation” line. When asked about the use of trees of different species, Janis Kuzminsky replies that each species of trees has its own sound and demonstrates it to a specially designed tree of different species of wood of the same species. As a continuation, the master explains how the guitar production process takes place. First, from a plywood to the customer's wishes, a master of the final product is made, which the client can take for a time to test and understand that the guitar of that shape would be the most convenient for him. Then the most appropriate material will be selected from which the guitar will be prepared, then all the nuances are discussed so that the future guitar sound is the most desirable. 90% from the guitar-making process is hand-to-hand. The average guitar price is around 1000.00 euros. During the narration, the Commission has the opportunity to gain an idea of the importance of each stage of the guitar production and the importance of the nuances of performance.
Subsequently, the evaluation is carried out by the Commission in a room where the guitars produced by THE “Tiptops” owner of THE ZS “Tiptops” are to be inspected and tested. There are photographs of various musicians who have played/purchased the guitars of this master. For example, Alvis Bernan, Don, Juris Linuge, Vincent Kokoy, Martin Egliens. As a special personality, who had tried and appreciated the guitar's sound, John mentioned Dominic Miller, a member of the world-famous musician. The landlord also shows Dominic Miller's autograph on the guitar that was playing, who had been dragged out for years.
John Kuzminsky's interest in guitars had been long since he had played his first guitar. Working with wood, making wooden furniture, window frames, doors, etc. from wood, but the guitars are more serious about 8 years ago. All the arts of the guitar have been acquired by self-training, much information has been obtained on the Internet. John has given the name “Attack” to his guitars.
In 2018, the owner intended to purchase CNC cutter for production purposes. Jānis currently provides work for his music group bier, who is trying to make a guitar for himself as a first performance and if he realizes that he likes it, then he will continue to work. Janis Kuzminsky also finds that he has received an offer from a potential investor in order to be able to produce a guitar on a wider scale in the future, including the development of an accurate process of technological process to produce a specific final product line to be offered to musical instruments.

3. SIA Balt Harmonia owner Gunar igram acquaints the Commission with the pride of its company – museum of musical instruments. The master offers not only a collection of collected collections, but also a story of special copies that each have their own story. For example, on the pre-war holiday in Latvia, “Innova”, which, as a result of the “bourgeoasically exclusive status” of the performance and the production performance, was even banned at the time, or as a battle that has ever been played by the Sir of Pietuk (a prototype in a pile of brothers' piles of “surveyors”).
