Old tuners like a bath.

- 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.

What do you use to clean old tuners like this Mike?
I scrub them with water, dish soap, and some baking soda using a toothbrush. Then I rinse and run through my ultrasonic cleaner. After things dry completely, I reassemble and lubricate all the moving parts. Usually works like a charm!
