“Karl and Jackie are not cut from a different cloth, as some like to say-- they are simply cut from the cloth. Many of the folks in my generation (I'm 30) want fast results, big discounts, and streamlined efficiency. They're cut from some weird synthetic stuff that melts if it stays out in the sun too long. You'll get none of that at BCFM. What you will get is exposure to the wisdom and subtle humor that can only come with decades of experience. Stick to your online retailers if you want the best prices. Come in to BCFM if you want to stand in the river of acoustic time and pick up a few rocks to keep in your pocket. I bought my Deering Sierra banjo from Karl in 2011, as a hotheaded novice player, who only wanted to name drop and pick quick. I talked a little faster then and tied my shoes a little tighter. Now I make my living playing the five string banjo in Guatemala, and needed some work (fret dressing and a new head) done real fast while on a rapid-fire four day visit to the area. Karl understood my dilemma, and he and Jackie and Kim stayed open a little later to accommodate me. As usual, they did top-notch work and were happy to share some fantastic stories they've picked up along the way. I left feeling a little more connected to the tapestry that connects all of the acoustic pickers of the world, and grateful for the slow-cooked friendship I've been able to nurture with Karl over the past seven years. You won't find this on the internet or in the big box stores.”
