About Huss & Dalton
Huss & Dalton Guitar Company has built acoustic guitars in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia since 1995, when Jeff Huss and Mark Dalton founded the shop. The catalog runs from steel-string flat-tops through a smaller line of electric guitars, with a longstanding focus on the pre-war American flat-top tradition — the Crossroads, the T-OO, and the TD series among the recognizable builds. Brian Dickel, a long-time member of the team, took over ownership in 2021, and the shop continues building under the same craftsmanship principles.
About Elderly Instruments
Elderly Instruments has been a Lansing, Michigan institution since 1972 — founder Stan Werbin opened the shop in East Lansing with fifteen used instruments and no cash register, then spent fifty-plus years growing it into one of the largest specialty music retailers in the country while keeping it family-run (Stan still leads; daughter Lillian is the next generation). The store moved to its current home in a renovated old lodge hall in Lansing's Old Town district in 1983 and runs today with about forty employees, many tenured 20+ years. Their catalog is famously broad — Taylor, Martin, Fender, and Yamaha alongside Collings, Bourgeois, Lowden, McPherson, Santa Cruz, Goodall, and Atkin — and the in-house repair shop, a separate 3,000-square-foot space with a spray booth, inspects and sets up nearly every instrument they sell. A specialty music store that's outlasted every shift in retail and stays known for its repair expertise and customer care.
