專業｜以初心，守護初心
十年後，峰弦峰語由小小的劏房教室，到今日衝出國際。
峰弦峰語 FUNGUITAR 成為香港嘅 Bourgeois Guitars 獨家經銷商，亦係全香港首間直接引入北美四大手工結他嘅本土品牌。在此感謝 Bourgeois Guitars 嘅支持，我哋將會一直以初心及專業態度去教育及推廣 Fingerstyle guitar，同時守護住我哋每一個品牌。
從來我最大嘅願望，都係為咗令到每位學生，舊學生為曾經加入峰弦峰語而覺得慶幸和自豪。深深領略到，惟有不斷進步，先對得住身邊默默支持嘅朋友。所以呢幾年就算冇咩再彈歌俾大家聽，教務及對外嘅工作都已經令我不勝負荷。
或者簡單啲諗，我只係想證明，我哋香港人，一樣都做得到；只要有心，就算係呢個彈丸之地，彈本土粵語作品，一樣都可以得同國際嘅認同。 要令全世界認識咩係香港人，就靠我哋每一位了。

Bourgeois Guitars is pleased to announce the addition of our newest international dealer, FUNGUITAR, in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Started in 2009, FUNGUITAR is a renowned guitar school founded by Long Fung Tam, a Hong Kong native and fingerstyle musician widely known for solo guitar arrangements and performances. The school is attended by over 300 students who are mentored by a team of accomplished professional teachers.
In celebration of their 10th anniversary, FUNGUITAR decided to branch out into the retail guitar business. Long’s objective is to offer students and local guitar enthusiasts a greater variety of high end fingerstyle guitars than what is presently available in Hong Kong. On a recent trip to the US where he was researching high end guitar brands, Long encountered and fell in love with Bourgeois Guitars. In his words, “Bourgeois guitars consistently stood out, exhibiting ideal balance and clarity for fingerstyle playing”. As a result of this experience, in December of 2018 FUNGUITAR became the first Direct Importer of Bourgeois Guitars in Hong Kong.
In March of 2019, Long was invited to the Bourgeois Guitars’ shop in Lewiston, Maine. During his week-long visit, he learned how Bourgeois guitars are created, maintained and repaired. Long also collected and produced an abundance of promotional videos, photographs and interviews with Dana and the crew at Bourgeois Guitars. While he was on site at Bourgeois, Long took advantage of a unique opportunity to select the wood for a number of initial orders, including a 12-Fret Slope D and a customized Soloist and for his own personal use.
Long envisions establishing a collection of directly imported, custom fingerstyle guitars that reflect the wide variety of models, tonewoods, and options available to fingerstyle players through the Bourgeois line. FUNGUITAR’S first major shipment of guitars is scheduled to arrive in August, and will be accompanied by a party hosted by Long and FUNGUITAR in celebration of the event. The festivities will be publicized on funguitar.com.hk. Be sure to keep an eye on FUNGUITAR’S Instagram and YouTube feeds as well.
FUNGUITAR is the Sole Authorized Dealer of Bourgeois Guitars in the Hong Kong Special Administrative District. We are pleased to welcome our new partners to the Bourgeois family of international dealerships, and look forward to collaborating with FUNGUITAR on the design and production of many exciting custom guitars.
