The Recycled Resonator Guitars |
My name is Ron Berry and I have been making musical instruments since 1988 as a hobby and I started as a business under the Neis scheme in 2005 and hope to show a profit some year soon..
Here is a picture of me and my son Kian and one of my lovely partner Nell standing by Birtha the Double Bass Banjo and the banjo bass viol.

The 8-string fretless electric bass below was the first instrument I completed for my business (but for the control cavity cover being put on) in November 2006 and it unfortunately was almost immediately stolen from my home before I even heard it plugged in! Should you happen to see it (with a bone nut, a strange `music tech' black humbucking pickup chrome abalone knobs and Schaller bridge, flat wound strings and a canon output jack) I would very much like to have it back (and so would my customer.) A handsome reward will be paid to the person who returns it, or for information leading to it's recovery. I can be contacted at: ron*unheardofinstruments.com. (the * is a @) . I play bass, guitar, percussion and drum kit (in descending order) and my partner Iona (Nel) plays a metal clarinet and piano quite well (she is a bit shy about it though). Kian will play anything I let him get hold of. We now have a baby girl Alia Rose who was showing dancing prowess already at 9 weeks and is now over 13 months old and sings a lot. I live on an intentional community of glass artists, musicians and environmental activists and grow organic vegetables and tend the fruit orchard, mow etc. when I am not working or trying to fix my ancient cars. We also run a Happy High Herbs franchise market stall where we sell medicinal herbs, party herbs and musical treasures. You can catch us monthly at the Channon and Byron Markets and at festivals and dance parties such as Exodus, Island Time, Mardi Grass etc.
If you have a fantasy instrument that you would like to make and\or need advice or services I am most interested to hear from you. Feel free to make an offer on any instruments marked for sale as bids are retractable, non-binding and fun. If you are the highest bidder so far and I am feeling like I need some cash at that moment, who knows?...Ensuing negotiations could lead to one day when an unheardof instrument arrives in your life... and things will never be the same again... To see where the prices are currently sitting on items for sale see the "I think I want it" page by clicking this bit here. If you would like to send me a message or make a bid you can email me at ron*unheardofinstruments.com (the * is a @, I do that to reduce the spam bots from emailing me crap.) |
