We are sad to be informed that our old friend, Aband Din that work at Art Tune has passed away after a battle with cancer.
Abang Din played in the old school Band Crosstown many many years ago. He is well known for servicing and repairing guitars. Most of the guitarist handed their beloved axe to him only for all the works. I would say he is the most reliable guitar Luthier in Penang.
