William Harris Lee & Co., Inc.

Last month, I was in the fine arts building wondering around, wasting time. It was a Saturday. I saw this sign that said William Harris and Lee & Co. It was above the door and looked as if it was from way back in time. Then I noticed that there were cellos and violins inside. My curiosity got the best of me and I walked in. There was a gentleman, can't remember his name, that asked me if I needed any help. I told him I just wanted to look around. He asked "Do you want a tour?" which I jumped on it right away. I was introduced to Jonathan Reimann, a calm well spoken gent. He took us around and showed us all the stuff that they were making. It was like going into a time machine and being thrown into the 18th century. Violins everywhere, old, new, shiny, half done, you name it, they have it. It was a very pleasant adventure and all the people there were friendly. A good date spot. Later, I asked Jonathan if I could film him. He agreed. I came by the next week and shot this video.
