Dealer in the Spotlight: The Fellowship of Acoustics

Today, we put our spotlight on The Fellowship Of Acoustics. The Fellowship, or TFOA, was established in 2001. It is a music store located in Dedemsvaart, NL, specialized in guitars and gear for guitars. They have a very wide range of brands available at their store (and online) and they sell some exclusive brands like Martin, Music Man, Rickenbacker, Marshall and Takamine.

SPECIALIZING FROM THE START

“Running a shop in Bergentheim of all places was quite difficult to get started with, since there's no history and no heritage to live up to, no big city around to get customers from. So we needed a different approach. So we approached it in the ‘American way’, and imagined the world to be a place with no borders, advertised in English so hopefully every guitar player understood our offerings. Another thing that set us apart from the start is by concentrating on quality handcrafted guitars only.”

From that day onwards, TFOA set out to meet master luthiers, but also invested in vintage guitars, deepened their knowledge on subjects such as history, technology related to designs and all details that affect tone.

And the hard work paid off because now, TFOA is one of those specialist guitar-shops were you can find a selection of the world's finest acoustic guitars of both this century and the bygone centuries. Not only steel string guitars but also a fine selection of classical guitars, bass guitars, mandolins, ukuleles and banjos.

This Martin Room is one of the eight acoustic-rooms in the old villa part of the building.

“As Martin Guitars is a large part of their inventory and a big factor i"n the acoustic-world, the brand has a dedicated section in our store.”
