BiographyIn 1971 Eaton lived in Tempe, Arizona, where he was trying to sell guitars he had built. He met John Roberts, a luthier from Phoenix, who would later found the Roberto-Venn school. His interaction with Roberts sparked his interest in building guitars, and a short while later he built a guitar in Roberts' shop.[5] Eaton went on to complete an MBA at Stanford University in 1975. He returned to Tempe after this, and accepted a position as instructor at the newly established Roberto-Venn school.[5] He designed his first harp guitar in 1976, which he called a 26-string guitar. Based on a standard guitar design, it had extra strings stretched over the body.[3] Many of his instruments have been featured museums, including the Hollywood Bowl Museum.[1] The instruments he designs, builds and plays include unique instruments like the "koto harp guitar," and the double-necked "o'ele 'n strings".[4] He is based in Phoenix, Arizona.[4] The "o'ele 'n strings" have two sets of strings over a carved and engraved body, inspired by an armoire.[3] Eaton has released 16 recordings on the Canyon Records label, including several with collaborators. Four of these are with members of the "William Eaton ensemble," which he leads.[1] He has been nominated for four Grammy awards.[1] Eaton has collaborated for more than 25 years with Native American flutist Carlos Nakai.[5] The music they write is often inspired by the culture and landscape of the southwestern United States, and has been described as "haunting, highly resonant, and [original]."[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.roberto-venn.com/faculty/william-eaton/ |title=William Eaton |publisher=Roberto-Venn |date= |accessdate=2016-03-27}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Eaton, William (guitarist)}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/arts/2015/03/25/governors-arts-awards-honor-guitarmaker-william-eaton/70401936/ |title=Governor's Arts Awards honor guitarmaker William Eaton |publisher=Azcentral.com |date=2015-03-26 |accessdate=2016-03-27}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.harpguitars.net/luthiers/eaton-06.htm |title=Harp Guitar Luthier William Eaton, Frets, Jan, 1983 |publisher=Harpguitars.net |date= |accessdate=2016-03-27}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|author=Biography by Linda Kohanov |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/william-eaton-mn0000577216/biography |title=William Eaton | Biography & History |publisher=AllMusic |date= |accessdate=2016-03-27}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://worldmusiccentral.org/2014/12/15/american-indian-artist-r-carlos-nakai-celebrates-platinum-record-with-concert-at-the-musical-instrument-museum-in-phoenix/ |title=American Indian Artist R.
