Deatherage Music

Math Deatherage, master luthier, started his profession at the tender age of nine years old, when his father dared him to attempt to develop a violin neck. From that time on, he has been honing the craft of string instrument making. Mr. Deatherage apprenticed under his Grandfather, who was a violin maker, and another violin maker for a period of fifteen years. In 1970, he began his own business, custom making violins, mandolins, banjos, and guitars. The store, Deatherage Music Co. Has been engaged in the retail business, selling and repairing stringed instruments and accessories.
