The headline says it all. A big thank you to everybody concerned for your custom and positive comments!
While the first half of 2025 was OK, August brought enough bad news to spoil the whole year: 1) Trump's tariffs and the abolition of the $800 de minimis exemption for imports. Goodbye, all-important US market. 2) Best Finnish/worldwide reseller Custom Sounds exiting business. Lovely while it lasted. 3) Relocation of the workshop at a month's notice. Accomplished, not without effort and cost.
Back to the USA? Guitars´n´Jazz has sold their samples. Come January and we'll see how direct trade works out. UPS says no problem. Until then, Happy Holidays!

I had a few guitarists ask about my Toob on Thursdays gig. It’s a real conversation starter.

It is! My Metro always attracts the attention of musicians; the non-musicians don't seem to care.
Happy holidays, Markku, and hoping 2026 is a better business climate for you.

I get very satisfying sounds from the Metro BG, which sits conventiently on my desk. Now fed by a Nano Cortex through a Super Block. The small speaker really delivers.
