I have a website, but not listing any instruments for sale yet. I might thru Etsy over the winter break.  There are still a handful left.

Diane --your builds are amazing--your work is precision....I ought to eek (?) out a workspace, and likely confound myself, because that would lead to needing materials,  tools, etc.......for now i take delight in letting my eyes appreciate the beautiful pics!

do you have a web shoppe, or were the sales limited to the gallery? That must represent a years worth or better of building?...

Thanks, Laurie Lee!  Despite the blowy, snowy weather we had a great turnout, magnificent performances (pop tunes on the uke, Black Sabbath on the 3-string, distortion electric, and old-timey tunes on assorted instruments.  We lost one act in the snow, but he promises to perform next time -- and there will be another one, since this one went so well!  Aron Packer, gallery owner, was really enthused!

Plus I sold a big handful of instruments -- a bonus!
