String Tinkers is the brainchild of Don Spaeth, a Business thinker, George Brin, a Designer and Luthier, and Anthony Foronda, a Designer and Artist, who are musicians and music enthusiasts. Their mission is to create unique, collectable string instruments inspired by an early Americana aesthetic. Using reclaimed and repurposed materials; each instrument is designed and hand made in our shop in Putnam Connecticut for all to enjoy.
