I am writing this letter to inform all my Flatstone friends that as of last week I ended my 16 years as owner of Flatstone Amplifiers with the sale of the business to my friend Nic Patullo who I personally trained out at my shop in Poplar,WI. I feel I've left Flatstone Amplifiers in the absolute best hands possible and that it has the best chance of continuing on with Nic. In the recent years that I've known Nic starting from when he began working for me he has always been the most honest,fair person I could ever ask to deal with and caught onto tube guitar amplifiers faster than anyone else I've known. Like me he plays guitar and other instruments, runs a recording studio and enjoys digging into the electronics and figuring out what makes things really work. It's no wonder we never run out of things to talk about.
I figured after about 37 years of recording studios,electronic repairs and building custom guitar amplifiers that maybe I would do something different with the remainder of my life. Not to say that I'm out of all that, I never could be. Just saying that I've scaled down alot. I sincerely hope that all the friends I've made over the years will keep in touch and I wish Nic all the luck in the world.
Sincerely yours, Walt Gorgoschlitz
