Oriskany Stringed Instruments is a partnership between luthiers Curtis Rockwell and Johanna Mutti. Located in the rolling hills of central Pennsylvania, Curtis and Johanna have a current annual production of 12 guitars, building them two or three at a time. Instead of building "his and hers" guitars, Curtis and Johanna work collaboratively on each instrument. Both of them are involved in all elements of design and construction with little specialization of labors. The luthiers use their own experiences as guitarists to pay particular attention to playability and the interaction between the player and the instrument. They combine simple, elegant designs with carefully picked tonewoods and an attention to ergonomics and playing styles.
