The Craft
50 Years of Family Tradition
The craft of lutherie has been in the family since 1974, passed down through generations of dedicated builders who believed that every instrument deserves to be made with intention.
MRK Artistry was founded in 2012 to bring that tradition to a new generation of players. In 2020, we expanded our services to include professional setup and repair for instruments of all makes.
"Every instrument that leaves our shop is built to be played for a lifetime."
