Larry Wexer

Hi — I'm Larry Wexer. I've been in the vintage-instrument field for over twenty-five years, though I came to it by a somewhat circuitous route. I play mandolin, guitar, and harmonica, and have played or recorded with the Dillards, the Sons of the Pioneers, Grandpa and Ramona Jones, Alan Munde, Peter Wolf, Roy Clark, Jimmy Vivino, and The Chieftains, among others — all this alongside an M.A. in Ethnomusicology from Indiana University.

I've written articles and book chapters in Guitars of the '50s and Acquired of the Angels. Through years of experience I've learned what makes a fine musical instrument, and what is truly original. I represent everything I sell as accurately as I can. Ultimately, the idea is to play and enjoy these instruments for what they are — pieces of history, objects of beauty, and functional tools. Happy playing.
