Update 2026/03: Things pretty much went progressively downhill after losing the retail store, then being evicted in 2024, then losing the flea market spot in 2025, and several other major disasters, including some not easily-resolved health problems cratered our ability to hold things together, our eBay seller rating and Reverb acoounts becoming more and more problematic- I put things on hold a few months ago, but am going to slowly resurrect things online now- with inventory in 4 different places, it became to difficult to maintain a decent QoS for everyone, but I'll very carefully relist stuff now.

Update 2022: Due to circumstances almost completely beyond our capability to influence, we (wife Meg and I) had to close the store-front in May; retail business is over the phone, internet, and other remote channels, but we have maintained a retail presenece at the the Marshall County Fairgrounds Flea Market since it opened in 2006. Business is Saturday/ Sunday until 2 P. M. year-round, as we are inside the building. While I only have a few sales of record on Reverb.com, I have a 5-star rating, with nearly that same rating on eBay under two accounts I have had for 20 years or so and (very sporadically) on Amazon for over 10 (but with much wider inventory than just musical instruments and paraphernalia).

I started in 1991 doing the itinerant vendor thing (flea markets, guitar shows, swap meets, car shows (too much of another story to get into), concert and festival setups, pow-wows (mainly my wife's business, but some of my very favorite events), etc.) Not only would I have instruments, and lots of other stuff, for sale or trade, I would do tech work, repairs, and other work on site.

In 2006, I opened our brick-and-mortar retail store in exciting MOUNDSVILLE, WV! YAY!
Originally with a professional partner whose ideas were great but not properly executed, the entire business settled on my shoulders after 6 months, and with the exception of a few months here and there with someone trying to work in as a partner (except for our friend Shawn Aldag who we maintained a side business in keyboards for most of 15 years), it's been mostly me for the rest of the time- that crushing weight helps explain my poor posture and conformation with the instruments I play...

Not just an instrument technician since high-school, I've been involved in audio and recording engineering since then, plus I started in IT back in the main-frame days, when operators mostly didn't program, and programmers weren't allowed to touch the buttons... Nowadays, the business is just myself and my wife Meg (handling the books, phones, counter sales, etc.)- we had to back-burner Renaissance Artisans, our keyboard business with Shawn, due to severely slumping sales, and we were starting up a small electrical contracting business with (God rest your soul, you have ALL our love) Joseph Maupin, but his death in 2016 capped that project.
Our .com website will no doubt be the longest-term project of them all, surely it'll be together before the heat death of this universe...
