Len Laviolette
Len joined the Mesa College ensemble in 2006, under the supervision of Prof. George Svoboda. He fell in love with the whole concept. The people were so much fun and the weekend practices were very useful for learning. After using his eligibility he concentrated on building guitars. He has been building for 40 years. He built most of the instruments used in the ensemble. For the last 6 years he has been playing a Contra-bass guitar which he designed for ensemble play.
He loved classical guitar since he was a teenager and when he found this ensemble he embraced it with enthusiasm. He considers the members to be his best friends and always enjoys the weekend practices. His web site is:
