Kal-Tone closed its doors at the end of 2022 after 8 years of providing lutherie services to the Kalamazoo area. I will be moving the workshop but staying in Kalamazoo, and focusing only on building new instruments under my old handle of “Charters Guitars” from 2008-2011.

Please visit www.chartersguitars.com for the latest there.
