Shifting Into Higher Gear
At Mikron, we put our money where the music is. Come in and you’ll discover a remarkable collection of vintage guitars and amps, as well as a 1965 Hammond B3 organ with a Leslie speaker that we picked up from George Mitchell, who has toured with Diana Ross since 1980 and also backed Stevie Wonder. And our recording equipment, from a Midas M32 digital mixer to a big selection of microphones, is absolutely top shelf. Lavish we’re not—you won’t find a sauna and there’s no massage therapist on call. But we do have an exterminator next door who can meet all of your termite removal needs.
