Stephen Kinnaird 2024
We’ve got a lot of really fun things happening this year at our shop, but we thought we’d kick this thread off with a video. A friend of ours, the very talented Steve DeVries, stopped by the shop and graciously sat in front of the camera and noodled and talked. Just a camera, two mics, and no script or double takes. Steve is playing our Bearclaw Italian/Bird’s Eye Maple 000-12 which we’ll be taking to the Artisan show if it doesn’t sell sooner.
We hope you enjoy it, and please check in from time to time to see what wild things we’re up to. Thanks. |

That was fun Ryan. Guitar sounds great as always! I wish I sounded like that on my bad days.

Sounds great, but that's what we expected - right?!
Looking forward to seeing what y'all build this year.

David we are going to be stretching our boundaries with some of the commissions we have coming up. We’ll try to keep everyone up to date. Of course, you can swing by the shop whenever you want too. |

Thanks Lonzo! Glad your 12 string is doing well. Its replica for someone special is almost done and should be playing in the next few weeks!

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I’ll second Tom’s remark, but change it a bit to say, “I wish I sounded like that on my GOOD days”.

I think I am being misunderstood...he said he was not having his best day playing and he still sounded better then me on my best days. I wish my best days sounded as good as his worst is what I was trying to imply.

It is a humbling experience being around a realllly good player. Steve was complaining about arthritis hitting his left hand, and how he really hasn’t played much in the past several years. Then he pulls off stuff like this. That’s when you realize—again—that there is a disproportionate distribution of talent. Some have it in spades. Others of us are only holding a couple of deuces. Ah well, like Mary McKnight says, at least we can make a joyful noise! |

Nice guitar guys. Beautiful with scrumptious tone!

Wow- there is nothing like pairing a gifted player with a top notch instrument! The tone on this guitar is amazing and Steve is puling out so much depth with his playing.
Thanks for sharing this Ryan! beth |
