Big MORT: "I’ve always loved music. I began playing guitar when I was twelve and have always had an interest in all types of stringed instruments. So, I would often imagine my own unique designs and formats. Then I would imagine the role of these instruments in various ensembles.  My instruments are designed to be both familiar and unique, so the musician who plays them can easily explore their musical possibilities.  

These are innovative instruments for innovative musicians."
