It’s National Accordion Awareness Month and The Museum of the City of New York has put together a delightful collection of historic photos showing the joy of gallivanting accordioneers and their adoring audiences….and a huge jug of wine.
Enjoy.

- A little rearranging to open up the shop for my daily Taiji and Qigong breaks. #chchchchanges
- Just a friendly reminder that Rosewood is transitioning to an appointment based business. I’ll still be at the shop my regular 40+ hours a week, but I’ll be able to dedicate my time to repair and restoration work. Once I get through some backlog, I’ll be able to start building custom instruments. Get ready! Keep bringing me your wounded, stringed instruments! Just call, text, or email to set up a time that works for us both. Thank You! 🙏 #nathanwpyle
- Banjo jigging.
- Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Been a LONG…week? I appreciate everyone who surprised me with a little kindness. Means so much.
- It’s been a hard summer, but today I celebrate myself and my business as we turn one year older. I was 24 years old when I said yes to the idea of working for myself and I opened up a little stringed instrument repair shop in Canal Park. I have no idea how so many years have passed! I am 40 years old now and I have had the privledge to chart my own course for almost my entire adult life. It’s not always easy, but it is all mine. Yet, I owe this community everything. Without you and your continued support I wouldn’t be able to do this. So, thank you. Look for changes as summer gives way to fall! I plan to begin running an appointment-only style business to better keep to the repair and restoration work that is the lifeblood of my shop. Who knows what happens next? Also, Happy Birthday Albus.
