  • Troublesome Creek Stringed Instrument Co.

    Hi all, does anyone know how to get a video or story about worth while project to Tony? This String Instrument Co is a manufacturing company that builds guitars, mandolins, and dulcimers, drawing on rich musical traditions to propel an otherwise suffering economy in Kentucky. It works to provide “refugees of the coal industry” a path forward and an opportunity to reintegrate into society post-addiction. In fact, learning to build a string instrument at Troublesome Creek is offered as a class through the local drug court for coal miners that have opioid problems. However, in July 2022, a torrential downpour led to flooding in the area, causing the banks of the Troublesome Creek to overflow and destroy equipment at the stringed instrument factory. Below is a link to the story. https://thebluegrasssituation.com/read/the-local-honeys-show-how-handmade-guitars-are-helping-eastern-kentucky/

    If anyone can get this to Tony I think he would understand and help get the message out about this place. They also make darn good Guitars!!!
