Introduction to Gamut Music, Inc.
Gamut Music grew out of my efforts to make a living as a maker of musical instruments starting in 1973 and was formally incorporated in 2008. It is the mission of this company to provide accurate and authentic reproductions of historical musical instruments and strings for those musicians who want to pursue the art of historically informed performance practice.
