Congratulations Fiona Wedenig...  

Winner of the Maton Diesel Mini Guitar!

When Fiona Wedenig of Gidgegannup received an email saying “Congratulations you are a Winner!” she thought it was just another one of those annoying hoax emails!  In fact her first impulse was just to delete it!  Fortunately she did not...  and a few days later when she checked the email more carefully she could not believe her luck!   

Fiona, who is actually a clarinettist & owns a beautiful Buffet Festival series Bb clarinet, registered for our eNewsletter last year after she came across our website while looking for a Christmas Present for her guitarist partner Han.  She saw that Tommy Emmanuel was doing a Master Class for Concept Music and, knowing Han owned already a Maton M325, thought it would make a great gift.  Coincidentally Fiona & Han were already familiar with the Maton Mini Series guitars and had already been considering buying one as a travel guitar to take with them when visiting friends and family at “home” in Switzerland & Holland.  As the Mini Maton is usually considered small enough to go in an overhead locker (in a bag anyway) it has been a very popular travelling guitar.

Interestingly, Fiona first came to Perth from Switzerland some 7 years ago while she touring the world circuit as a Professional Kite-Surfer (see a couple of her amazing action photo's below).  “Yes, really!”  Fiona says  “I had a great job that meant I got paid to go to the beach every day!”).  While Competing and Training in Perth she met Han... and the rest, as they say, is history! 

Fiona has since hung up her Kite and is now working as a Project Manager in the Aviation & Mining industry in Perth.  Unluckily for Han, it looks like he won’t get to play the Maton Mini guitar very much as, just one day after receiving her new guitar, Fiona emailed Concept Music to say: “I’ve already learnt my first two chords and played until I got sore fingers... it is such a beautifully sounding instrument, I can’t tell you how excited I am!”. 

Congratulations Fiona... we are excited for you too and can’t wait to hear your first song!  Stay Tuned for our next great giveaway...  a brand new Fender EC Series Vibrochamp amplifier valued at $1299!

 Fiona Wedenig flying high!
