It also allowed the members to figure out how to make their instruments heard from the stage. The shop was where “Tubbs” was built, too. DeTemple kind of sponsors us in that way,” she said. “It’s nice that we’re able to all work on our instruments here. One of the elements that has been crucial for the band’s success is the fact that they have a place to work on their instruments.ĭeTemple’s father, Michael DeTemple, has been building and repairing instruments since he was a boy, and the family has DeTemple Guitars, which makes custom Stratocaster and Telecaster-style guitars, but also has a repair shop.ĭuring our recent telephone interview, Annie DeTemple was working on the pickups for her autoharp.
