This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... The Guitar and Lute Workshop is of great historic significance to the State of Hawaii, having been a center of activity supporting the Second Hawaiian Renaissance in the 1970's as well as being the location of restoration for Queen Liliukolani's piano, which is now displayed at Iolani Palace -- being the only official palace in the United States. Members of the Guitar and Lute Workshop staff, notably, Keola Beamer, have played a significant role in the evolution and rediscovery of Hawaiian culture through Hawaiian music. The Guitar and Lute Workshop represents a musical link for Hawaii which is roughly equivalent to the C. F. Martin & Company or the Haight-Ashbury and the Fillmore West in the context of San Francisco history. --Johnson.s.erik (talk) 17:58, 18 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
