We recently discovered players can no longer obtain information on Weber instruments built prior to 2013 from the Weber company. Mary and I would be happy to help with any questions or concerns you...
Oops, I just noticed my signature still says Weber Fine Acoustic Instruments.:redface:
Hi guys! I think I finally have enough information from TOH to post some facts on Weber warranties prior to 2013.
1. TOH will continue to honor minor warranty repairs to the original owner as...
I'll be back.
Hey fellow mandolin warriors. To put fears to rest. There are no intensions of ever moving any part of Weber to China. We will remain a domestically built family of instruments.
Hey there. Just got back to the Montana shop from Bend after checking on how things are going with Weber instruments. I'm still very much involved and split my time between MT and OR. Family...
Hi folks, To put some fears to rest. The Weber brand will continue to be built domestically only and there is no intension to bring on an import under the Weber name. Breedlove mandolins with also...
Hi Folks, Thanks for all the support and kind words. All is well and intact with the Weber (and Breedlove) lines and we're getting settled nicely in Bend. My and Tom Bedell's ideals run very...
Our merger with Bedell and Breedlove has had nothing but a positive impact on going forward with the Soprano. Vern Brekke is working hard to get all the tooling done in Montana for some of the...
I'll be moving the shop to bend over the next couple of weeks and it will take us a bit to get settled. At this time because of the incredible growth Bedell, Breedlove and Weber are experiencing,...
Players and dealers can contact me directly to exchange info on the instruments they want; appointments, tone, the genre and setting they'll be playing in the most, and on, and on. Anything to...
Tom Bedell is dedicated in keeping the line as is, 100% American made.
Wow! I've wanted to build a few Tenors. I think the above video just pushed me over the edge. Thanks Ted!
Hey Folks, If any of you would like to email me personally, I'll share all the correspondence between Loren the Mandolin Store and I. The language he used wouldn't be appropriate to post here.
I think that makes you a mandolin renaissance man.
Thanks for the support and great questions!
I've got quite a bit of past experience with that scenario and have the scars and T-shirt to prove it. We built Flatiron and Gibson under the same roof with the same people for years. Unlike the...
Tom and I have had some great conversations about how we believe our luthiers, players, dealers and people as a whole should be treated by our then separate companies and now one. I would never have...
You are spot on. I do take great pride in being a hands on guy. Today I'm running down to the shop between answers here to make a little dust and catch up on some bench time.
My son, Bruce Jr....
One of the great things about this joining was that Tom Bedell recognized the uniqueness of Weber and wants to retain all of it's flavor, changing nothing that would compromise that goal except the...
Change is hard, even if it's a change for the better. I've got incredibly dedicated luthiers, loyal to the Weber brand who are embracing this new chapter with enthusiasm. It will be hard not having...
I've got my hands more than full with the Weber line, but I'm sure Kim and I will get to exchange a few ideas.
I love customization! That's one of our strong points. We're willing to do anything that doesn't compromise the structural integrity of the instrument, but I do reserve the right to be the taste...
For the most part the line will stay the same and continue to expand with the exception being the line of Flat instruments which I think we'll phase out. At this time there are no plans to increase...
Hey Folks, Been a long time! Weber Fine Acoustic Instruments was purchased by Tom and Molly Bedell (Two Old Hippies) on Thursday November 8th. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer...
