HARMOS STEEL GUITARS and ACCESSORIES

NEWS - HARMOS GUITARS

T. Sage Harmos

Sage was born in Billings Montana (1961) and grew up in Boulder Colorado, in love with music and fascinated by machines. The steel guitar is where those interests met. When he took up the steel in 1987, Sage also had an interest in Bucky Fuller's geometry.

"The debate in the steel guitar community over the role that mass plays in tone quality caught my attention. Most folks were saying that an instrument had to be massive in order to have good tone. I had a feeling that it had more to do with rigidity, and efficient transfer of string energy than raw mass alone. Some mass is required, obviously- what is there just has to be in the right place."

Over a period of ten years Sage nurtured the design and development of the structural space frame steel. The first prototype (completed in 1998) weighed two and a half pounds. In 2001 he started getting the guitar into the world, where it has been well received by some great players.

Sage studied Industrial Technology at Colorado State University. He has two beautiful children, a daughter and son. Sage lives in Minneapolis.

James has a technology background that includes an advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota, 10 years working in product development and engineering management and 13 years in product engineering, manufacturing and International customer service (including several years living in the Middle East and Far East).

He enjoys athletics and has a passion for ancient stories and storytelling. He lives with his wife, two children and goldfish in Deephaven, Minnesota.
