What's In a Name?
In the case of musical instruments, we feel that the period between the 1920’s through the 1960’s truly represents a “Golden Era.” Our mission at Golden Era Instruments, LLC is to locate, lovingly restore, and reunite these earlier instruments to owners who want and appreciate what they represent. Dr. Charles Fail, Golden Era’s founder is a master instrument technician with over a half-century experience repairing and restoring these vintage instruments and he has passed down this knowledge to other members of his family who are involved in this family business. Whether it be a professional, intermediate, or student grade instrument, we believe our instruments represent true value. We guarantee it!
