PLAY IT LOUD

Orville Gibson worked in a shoe store, his brother Orzo was an upholsterer, and Kalamazoo, Michigan was the place in the late 1870s. Orville got his kicks from making guitars and mandolins out of old pieces of furniture, even getting a little international notoriety when he made a violin out of wood taken from the Old Town Hall in Boston.
