MachMachines Musical Instruments

About Us

MachMachines is an independent maker of guitars, basses, ukuleles, and instrument accessories. Rooted in craft and the Chicago music community, we believe that a favorite instrument is more than a prized possession — it’s a lifelong relationship. Every build begins with a conversation and ends with a music machine fine-tuned to your sound, your style, and your story.

Founded by David Showalter and Jennifer Vianello — a luthier and a strategist, a maker and a storyteller —MachMachines is where instruments are made, not manufactured, built for fit and feel, and played for keeps.

We make sound that stays.
