Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, one of the more interesting buildings in the region. It's a converted 19th century textile mill that's become a hub for artists, makers, craftspeople, and independent businesses. Painters, photographers, woodworkers, jewelers, and now a guitar shop. The building has a creative energy that fits what we do. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If you need assistance, give us a call and we'll come down.

Climate

Upstate winters drop indoor humidity fast. Acoustics feel it. Tops sink, fret ends feel sharp, action shifts. Most of that is fixable with a setup. Structural work is a bigger conversation and we diagnose it at intake.
