What started in his garage has grown into a small group of dedicated craftsmen. Working out of an old turn of the century sock factory in downtown Nashville, Mitch and his crew of artisans make these instruments using the most basic tools and crafting them into beautiful artistic pieces. Only select hardwoods and custom aluminum are used to create the perfect descriptions of form and function. These instruments are just as pleasing being viewed on a coffee table as they are being played in a recording studio.
