Our Mission: Saving the World, One Guitar at a Time

The Environment

As operating humans who produce undeniable waste on this Earth, each of us has a duty to reduce that waste and strive to achieve at a minimum, a carbon neutral life.

Instrument manufacturing can take its’ toll on the environment, and too many used instruments get rejected, tossed into a closet, sent to thrift stores, and even outright thrown away. We believe every instrument should have a second chance, and every aspiring musician should have a chance to buy a good instrument, at a fair price. By reusing what would otherwise be discarded or trash, we minimize waste, and reduce our carbon footprint, -while also providing an opportunity where it is most needed. We are always thinking of new creative ways to reduce waste, and strive to educate where we can.

Our community 

We encourage music as an expressive outlet, and we believe the power of music can yield one’s truest and happiest self. Unfortunately, too many people who should be able to learn an instrument, can’t afford to buy one, or can only afford one that is poorly made, and thus hard to play. In addition to seeking out unique ways to make good instruments affordable, we offer a “Musicianship” program that provides low-cost rental instruments, and quarterly awards of instruments to deserving musicians. We also offer low-cost instruments to public school programs here in our community, and seek to expand this statewide.

We stand as advocators of music and music education, and hope to save the world, one guitar (instrument) at a time. Check out our musicianship page for more information on ways to join us in advocating for music education and resources.
