REFLECTIONS ON THE YEAR

Happy New Year to all of my friends.

 As the year draws to an end we take time to reflect upon the past and look forward to the year to come. There have been many challenges in our family this past year. Like many families in America we have had members suffering from mental health challenges and substance abuse.  We have tried as a family to surround those members with as  much love and care and kindness as we could provide. We look to the upcoming year as a time of healing and growth. 

If you are looking for a way to beat the winter blues, check out Falling Waters Music Camp in Ithaca, NY. The camp offers a wide variety of workshops for string players. Check out the "who's who" list of teachers. 

 Over the past year we have purchased several collections of guitars, banjos and mandolins from across the country. We intend to keep this pace of re-distributing fine instruments around the globe. We are actively seeking out and will travel to find musical instruments for our customers. If you have a collection and are thinking of selling, let us give you a free appraisal.
