Kalamazoo Takes Center Stage On The 'Antiques Roadshow'

Yes, there really is a Kalamazoo and yes, we rock!

Last night on PBS the 'Antiques Roadshow', came to Detroit and Kalamazoo was prominently featured in the first 30 minutes of the show!

A gentleman brought a Gibson Humming Bird guitar that was his Grandfathers. He told the story that he remembered his Grandfather strumming the guitar when he was young. When the axe was new in 1963 the cost for the instrument was $275.00 (not cheap for that time)! After the guitar was examined, it was determined that the worth was $3,800.00! WOW! Not only is a Kalamazoo company still relevant in the music industry but, created great memories for some.
