We have a new website! Jeff has redesigned the website to make it more user friendly, with drop down menus from the main categories, a new section of what services Wildwood Instruments can offer, feature enhanced roll over buttons and pictures, slide shows and a site map, so you can easily find everything. Some info on certian pages is still to come. However, please enjoy the new site, for your surfing pleasure!

Well we have finally finished our festival run. We attended nine festivals across 3 states this year with record breaking (highest and lowest) individual festival sales. We battled storms, heat waves, fog and gale force winds. We attended drought stricken and fire ravaged areas and somehow Wildwood Instrument's travelling shope' survived it all. We have sold out of quite a few products and with the post festival orders coming in, stocks may not last much longer! Some more friends have been made and plenty more people have acquired a beautiful new bundle of joy (an instrument). Thank you to all those of you.
After relocating to Melbourne 3 months ago Wildwood Instruments has finally found a new home. A lovely factory in Albert Street in the heart of Brunswick. It will be some months before we open as some major renovations are required, but we will keep you up to date on what's going on.
Ohh and yes, you will be invited to the opening!

Mount Beauty Music Festival 2007
Originally uploaded by wildwood instruments.

Greetings from High Country Victoria! We're having a rather wet but enjoyable weekend at the foot of Mount Bogong, the state's highest mountain. We're all set up for the day, and despite the rain, we're quite grateful it's not windy. Fingers crossed!

Wow! What an amazing festival the National Folk Festival was. We broke all records selling 98 instruments over the long weekend. Some new owners include Steve and Ros Barnes, Loaded Dog and Transylvaniacs, to name a few. Unfortunately we have sold out of a number of products, including deluxe mandolin, fiddle, large xylophone, bodhrans, etc. It will be awhile before any more are made as we are still in negotiations with the real estate agent over a factory in Brunswick. We will keep you posted as to how the shop and workshop plans are going.
With one more festival to go, the Mount Beauty Music Muster should be a nice end to the season. We will be there on Sunday 29th April. Hope to see you there.
