Our Trinity wood got a mention in today’s @nypost and we have one of only two guitars made completely out of the Trinity Beams that we salvaged, when the Trinity bell tower was renovated 2006. The church installed the first ring of 12 change-ringing bells ever installed in a church in the United states. Thanks Rick Kelly @carminestreetguitars “At Carmine Street Guitars in Greenwich Village, owner Rick Kelly crafts instruments out of wood salvaged from some of the city’s most legendary institutions, including the Chelsea Hotel (undergoing an extensive renovation), Trinity Church’s bell tower (damaged from 9/11) and the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava on 25th Street near Broadway (mostly destroyed in a massive 2016 fire). They start at $2,000. Often, Kelly’s guitars play on far longer than the structures sacrificed to make them.” photo credit for article @run_n_shoot
