Laurence Wexer Ltd.

Hi! I'm Larry Wexer. I've been in the vintage instrument field for over 30 years but 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, The Chieftains, and others. All this and an M.A. in Ethnomusicology from Indiana University and here I am selling guitars. I've also written some articles,and book chapters in "Guitars of the 50s "and " Acquired Of The Angels ".Through my years of experience I feel that I have learned what makes a good musical instrument as well as what is "original" or not. I try to represent the instruments I sell as accurately as I can. Ultimately the idea is to play and enjoy these wonderful vintage instruments for what they are historically , as things of beauty and as functional tools. Happy Playing!
