While the double bass of the violin family has been around for hundreds of years it wasn't until 1935 that the bass guitar made it's debut in the music world, crafted by Paul Tutmark of Seattle Washington. Mexico's traditional music features several types of acoustic bass guitars, the Guitarron, a very large, deep-bodied, 6-string acoustic bass guitar played in Mariachi bands, the Leon, plucked by a pick, and the bajo quinto and bajo sexto with five and six pairs of strings respectively. Further developments of Acoustic bass guitar occurred in the 1960's and 70's, chiefly by the Ernie Ball Co., to help define the instruments that we know today.
All of our acoustic bass guitars are shop-adjusted by our in-house luthier prior to purchase to assure you of a great playing instrument right out of the case!

I think that every household should have a buffalo horn
I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.

The Chief
This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase

Primordial and Beautiful
The skins are as beautiful as can be expected. I'll be using them for canvas in an art project in 2026. I'll be a returning customer.

The Boneshaker is awesome!
I bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.

Broke my more decorative drum protesting
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
