Having played bass almost as long as he's played guitar, Mike has explored alternative instruments to merge the two. After building harp guitars for Muriel Anderson and others and attending annual Harp Guitar Gatherings, he began building harp guitars for himself in 2006 and playing them at subsequent Gatherings. His harp guitar playing can be heard on four CDs, all available from HarpGuitarMusic.com. Then in 2013 he switched to playing 7-string guitar exclusively. This instrument provides the extended bass range needed for duo playing. Mike is in high demand as an accompanist for singers, and also plays in the duo "Seven 'n' Seven" with 7-string violinistEddie Parente.
