Matthew Oliver, a student from King edwards VI school Southampton recently brought a guitar stool he had made into the shop. The design was as part of his A level coursework. Matthew has come up with a unique design and we were all very impressed.

“I made the stool as part of my A level coursework and tried to design it in the style of Fret music, in the way that the curves in the stool reflect the curves in the logo of fret music, whilst also trying to incoporate useful aspects such as the storage and stand to make it more useful for a guitarist. The stool can hold both electric and acoustic guitars and there are two compartments for storage of books or leads etc. One under the seat and the other at the back”
