Instrument Shop walks students through every step of the building process: from a pile of raw boards and hardware, to the beautiful completed instrument.
Ben Simon (1980) has been working with musical instruments for the better part of his life.

Ben worked for the group home system Youth Homes here in Missoula from 2016-23, and holds a bachelor's degree in social work from the University of Montana.
