Musical Cove Table This table was inspired by a customer named Kathy in Milwaukee WI who had a great idea for a thin table to fit a special place in her home. It is a great looking piece with excellent sound. Photos in the home to follow... Matt, Everything arrived safely and the table is beautiful and the sound is beautiful. Thanks for including the CD as well. I'm looking forward to hearing it. My husband was quite impressed with how carefully the table was packed. We'll take pictures--will probably wait for a sunny day as the foyer is rather dark. Kathy

"From the moment I held one of Matt's shaker's in my hand, I knew I was in the presence of a gifted artist. When I commissioned Matt to create a musical coffee table, he make the time to work with me, discussing wood types, colors, and timbres (pun intended!). The table proudly sits in my office, sharing her musical tones each and every day." Rabbi Zach Shapiro Contact Shows
