On Sunday 18 November, the famous Belarusian guitarist Vladimir Tkachenko (Владимир Ткаченко) tried a Homestead guitar. He was so enthusiastic that he immediately ordered a guitar: a Grand Auditorium model with cutaway. The well-known Belarusian composer Andrey Kostiugov (Андрей Костюгов) also ordered the same day a Homestead Grand Auditorium.
