Meet our founder Steve Uhrik, who stars in this commercial for Webster Bank.

"I love this page and the store so much. Y'all are the coolest most down to earth collection of genuine music loving string nerdy people I've ever been in the presence of. The name "Retrofret" is its own kind of hip, and you guys always bring in the goooooood stuff. (+infinite brownie points for getting gear from the Walter Becker auction cause that dude is my hero, real New York hero). Thank you for existing!" - @theviceden on Instagram.
