Acoustic Music is the result of a group of guitar lovers and musicians that have allowed their enthusiasms for the instruments to get entirely out of control.

It began in 1990 as an organization to allow production and copyrighting of original music. It evolved slowly into a recording studio and CD production facility. During this time, guitars were being researched and collected. It’s a progressive form of disease: the more you learn about instruments (their origin, history and the artists that used them) the more meaningful they become. They grow to be friends and even family members. They become a part of your life. The truth is, you develop an attachment, a form of love for them. The bonding is strong. One thing leads to another and before you know it, a collection becomes a passion.

Passions are fun. They want to be shared. Guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, violins, basses, baritones, mandolas are all magical in that they are amazing works of the Master Luthier’s Art and their primary purpose is to create another form of Art: Music. There is no other art form that we’re aware of that shares this pedestal: Art for Art. Anyway, musicians are wonderful this way: they are a strange & passionate species that want to share their music and the love of the instruments.
