This has been a rich time for people who love traditional folk music. We’re in the right area for that – Western North Carolina is home to members of the Eastern Band of Cherokees, as well as people from the Scots-Irish diaspora, and those of African descent. Each of these cultures has a tradition of […]

After the strings are removed, they are sent to a company that measures them, makes new strings, and sends them to us. Gary then installs […]
