The Drop!

Etsy Shop

The next Etsy drop will be on Sunday August 17th, 2025 at 12pm EST, It will be a small Etsy drop of 16 Grumpy Gooses:

  • 6 Purpleheart

  • 6 Chechen Caribbean Rosewood

  • 4 Zebrawood

All of the Gooses are already viewable on my website if you would like to check them out ahead of time.

The Woods

The Purpleheart Gooses came out slightly darker than usual, probably due to the summer heat, which can deepen the tone. Still rich, still vibrant.

Going forward, I won’t be listing which wood type was used for the accent tip in the build, as I have been exclusively using Ebony for over a year now, and it just looks good. So unless it differs in the listing it will only show the main body wood type.

The Lab

I've been doing some extra work with Geshelli Labs. The case designs are for their new line of DAC and Amps coming soon, (not the small purpleheart case, that was a special order) Carved case options like these may also be available along side the uncarved variant, especially upon request.

The Show

I may be attending Toronto Audio Fest this upcoming October, more details to follow once I confirm my attendance. I still have a little more planning to do before I can made a decision to go. If I do attend, I'll have plenty of Grumpy Gooses available for in person purchase.

If not they will all be sold online.

The Shop

I'm still working on a much larger number of stands in the workshop right now, so if you're not able to grab one this drop, don't stress, more are en route. Including more Zebrawood, Bocote and Wenge.
