History

Almost twenty years ago I had a nightmare repair job done on one of my guitars. Since then I have been working on my own instruments. Soon, friends were having me do repairs for them. After doing some time at the Taylor factory in San Diego, I moved back to the Bay Area to work at Gryphon Stringed Instruments in Palo Alto. Being shop foreman at Gryphon for eleven years afforded me many opportunities to learn a thing or two. Fortunately, I made use of those opportunities and turned those opportunities into a wealth of experience. Several years ago, I decided to hang my own shingle. It's been a fun ride so far! : ) Mike

I asked for a quote and within the HOUR, Mike got back to me. This was a time-sensitive job and really a great response for a critical choice I had to make. I can't wait to work with him! :)

Mike is the first guitar luthier I've worked with and I couldn't have been happier with the service, the setup, and the man himself. He is a humble guy who genuinely wants you to be satisfied with...

Lydian Music Studios

HistoryNicholas and Ian have been friends since attending Sellwood Middle School in SE Portland. After high school, Nicholas went on to pursue a masters in vocal performance and Ian, a bachelors in mechanical engineering. They're education and careers took them all over the United States and occasionally Europe before returning to Portland in 2016. Nicholas made a career out of teaching voice and piano while still pursuing his performance career and Ian slowly burned out on engineering jobs. After many late night discussions they decided to create something of their own: a community of musicians that fostered education and musical exploration in their hometown. Once the location was found they set to work creating a beautiful space to play and an inclusive environment to learn. Lydian Music Studios officially opened in November of 2021 and continues to grow and learn just like its students.SpecialtiesLydian Music Studios offers high quality vocal instruction to all experience levels.
