We are honored to have become a regular addition to the Swannanoa Gathering, held during the month of July on the campus of Warren Wilson College, Swannanoa, North Carolina. Starting 2011, our booth will now be in the lobby of Jensen (the main classroom building next to Sunderland) where we provide strings, picks, tuners, straps, and just about any other accessory you might need.

Gathering Participants

We also supply a limited selection of instrument rentals, for those who have long ways to travel, or for those who just want to try something new while they are at the Gathering. Our rentals include:

• Goodtime and Savannah open-back banjos
• Seagull and Art-and-Lutherie guitars
• Eastman and Shen violin outfits
• Kentucky and Savannah mandolins
• Eastman full-size cello

We do not have bodhrans, basses, autoharps, folk harps, or hammered dulcimers available for rent or for sale.

All instrument rentals include a bag or case. Rental price for one week is $35.00 for all stringed instruments plus NC sales tax. No deposit is required, but a credit card (not debit) is mandatory. Please let us know ahead of time (phone or email) to reserve and schedule your rental, and we'll bring it to you!

Let us know if there are any other accessories or instrument-related needs you may have. We will be able to order and bring to the Gathering a wide variety of goods, if we know ahead of time.
