Sorry it has been so long since we found the time to update this blog. Everyone is so busy and the extreme weather is making things difficult for many. We send our prayers and support to families in those hard hit areas and to all the wonderful men and women serving those communities right now, many times at great personal sacrifice.
Still, we continue to make MILLTONE fine tunable steel tongue drums that are available on eBay and by custom order.
Model 8G-HBLK-1152
We have been busy making more 8G MILLTONE instruments and also involved starting up the terminalbeard blog.
As you may know Larry is seven months into growing a terminal beard.

Remember you can request a custom graphics design for your MILLTONE including your original artwork or ideas. We enjoy working with you to make something unique, personal, and special just for you.
The 8G Models are the newest MILLTONE fine tunable instruments. These are made the same way as previous generations. The difference comes from the steel. We have ordered enough to make 250 8G instruments. You may notice these have a little more sustain than the 7G models. Here are a few examples.

Model 8G-HGRY-1113, February 12, 2013
Model 8G-HBRN-1114, February 14, 2013
The 8G Models will be available in 12 different Hammered colors. They will be available through special order, retail dealers in France and Australia, as well as eBay for the time being.
We proudly present the last and final seventh generation MILLTONE instrument. This Model 7G-CSGB-1086 features a Hammered Black interior and absolutely gorgeous, color shifting, Galaxy Blue exterior. This wonderful paint changes color at different viewing angles. We have been working on this instrument for a long time, hence the lower model number of 1086. Model 7G-HGLD-1110 is the seventh generation instrument with the highest number, but this model, numner 1086 is actually the last instrument in the series. This should prove to make it highly collectible and the stunning color shifting paint is very desirable especially when seen in person. There is no way a picture can capture the life and energy in this finish.

Hammered Black inside finish.
Collectible, Fun, Relaxing, and Easy to Play, Enjoy!

We are very excited about all the new contacts and MILLTONE fans this month. We have some forthcoming announcements, endorsements, new MILLTONE artists and talent, talent, talented people discovering our instruments. So watch this blog for news. Now is also a good time to get a MILLTONE through eBay because they may be only be available there for a limited time.
Brian and Jana Smith, dba Hard Rock Hippie Drums ordered six MILLTONE 7G instruments claiming to be starting a business and selling them for retail prices at shows and on his new website hippiedrums.com. They expressed wonderful enthusiasm for MILLTONE instruments, wanted to be the sole MILLTONE distributor and claimed they would easily sell all the instruments we could make on a weekly basis from their South Carolina home. So we supported them with their efforts. After a few weeks, it became clear that things were not what they seemed. Brian, aka, BK, then began making excuses as to why there were no payments for ordered instruments. Long waits for payment, then invoices were cancelled, custom graphics designed for them no longer wanted, emails unanswered for weeks. Then BK explained that he was not able to sell any instruments and would not be ordering any more until he sold what he had. They were out of money. He was released from any further MILLTONE obligation.
Now we see he has copied our eBay listing titles and listed his MILLTONE demo models on eBay for $325. We were not aware of and did not approve this business tactic. We are very sorry for any confusion his listings may be causing. For example he listed a Hammered Copper model and says “hand hammered copper”. Of course our instruments are not made of hand hammered copper thus it can be confusing to those who are new to eBay, and our steel tongue drums. In retrospect BK should not have been sold any MILLTONE instruments and in our opinion is now causing damage to our brand at this point. He is no longer eligible to purchase MILLTONE instruments.
Please understand Brian and Jana Smith are acting completely independent of MILLTONE support and service. Please contact us in the event of any further problems or issues. We are very sorry for any MILLTONE misrepresentation and confusion coming from them as it is out of our control.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Larry
