COLE CLARK GUITARS

Yes it's true !!!
Australia has a new guitar maker!

ANMI (Australian Native Musical Instruments) is born. Mission statement - '' to export
Australian made & grown guitars to the world, while providing the strongest of domestic competition
& to import replace. These instruments will be high tech & yet will feel like tradition has returned"

Branded as ''COLE CLARK" for reasons that will become obvious, the first chapter (fine electric
guitars) is being written as we speak.

WHY?
It has been recognized for some time, given the lowly Australian Dollar, that more manufacturing in
Australia makes sense, since there is currently only one domestic maker of size, who is therefore
without competition.

HOW?
One major purpose of ANMI is to prove that CAD (Computer Aided Design) coupled with CAM
(Computer aided manufacture), if approached intelligently, will produce a more simplistic &
advantageous production process: in short, to use these processes to make substantially better
sounding instruments with more efficient production systems.

FROM?
Australia is a treasure-trove of suitable luthier or guitar making timbers: The acacias,
Flindersias & 'Bunya', or Auracaria bidwilli, are examples of great timbers for instrument making.
The name 'Australian Native Musical Instruments', reflects the dedication to this cause. This does
not mean ANMI will not produce instruments from traditional & exotic timbers, it is simply that
we love Australia & wish to value add its timbers.

we say more.
