Sound To
Earth traces its origins to the Flatiron Company
in Bozeman, Montana. Many of our employees started at
Flatiron in the 1980's, before Flatiron became a part of
Gibson. From May of 1987 to December of 1996, all
of
our luthiers and most of our support personnel worked
for Gibson building Gibson and Flatiron mandolins. The "Montana Era", of
Gibson/Flatiron, is remembered for
the consistent, high quality of the instruments that were
built here and for the great customer service from Bruce
Weber and Paula
Jean Lewis.
In 1996,
Gibson decided to move Flatiron to Nashville.
None of us were willing to move. We live in Montana
because we like the scenic beauty of the mountains, the
fresh air, and the people who live here. Bruce Weber,
the general manager
and head luthier of the Flatiron
division, founded Sound To Earth, Ltd. so that
we could
continue to
build the instruments that we love in the midst
of the
country that we love.
In
late January of 2004, we moved to our present location in the old red
brick school house in Logan, Montana. Built in the 1920s, we have
much more room to spread out and work than we did in our old location in
Belgrade. |
