About Symphony Sanctuary

Where Music and Creation Find Harmony

Symphony Sanctuary was built from a lifelong passion for both music and making. It began as one musician’s dream to create a space where creativity, craftsmanship, and community come together — a true sanctuary for sound and innovation.

The Story Behind the Music

My journey started when I was five years old, sitting at a piano bench for the first time. Since then, music has been the heartbeat of my life. Over the past 21 years, I’ve performed in live musicals, played everything from piano to bass guitar to low brass, and explored nearly every side of the musical world — instrumental, choral, and beyond.

That love for music eventually blended with another passion: creation. When 3D printing started to emerge, I was instantly hooked on the idea of designing and manufacturing things myself. A few years later, after my brother and I split our first printer, I spent countless hours learning, testing, and perfecting every print — from the first Benchy test boat to the custom parts that now bring big ideas to life.

From Printing to Purpose

I started 3D printing because I wanted to give people access to the things they needed — without the hassle of dealing with companies that didn’t care. I’ve always believed that great service and honest quality should come first. That belief is what fuels Symphony Sanctuary today.

The name comes from two powerful ideas: the harmony of a symphony, and the safety of a sanctuary. Together, they represent a space where both music and creativity are preserved, celebrated, and shared.

What We Do

Symphony Sanctuary offers a growing selection of musician accessories and instruments, carefully chosen to support everyone from students to professionals.

We also provide a custom 3D printing service — a way for musicians, teachers, and creators to bring their own designs or ideas to life. Whether it’s a personalized mount, a custom mouthpiece holder, or a one-of-a-kind tool that doesn’t exist anywhere else, Symphony Sanctuary is here to make it happen.

Our Mission & Values

At Symphony Sanctuary, everything revolves around two key values:

  • Quality — products and prints you can rely on

  • Community — treating customers like collaborators, not transactions

We believe musicians deserve accessories that feel personal and dependable. Our goal is to create a brand that feels like home — one that supports your craft, fuels your creativity, and listens when you need something done right.

Looking Ahead

Symphony Sanctuary is still growing. While the store currently uses dropshipping to offer a wide variety of musical products, the long-term goal is to move away from dropshipping and begin reselling instruments and accessories from trusted suppliers, alongside in-house 3D-printed creations.

By taking full control of quality, sourcing, and fulfillment, Symphony Sanctuary will evolve into a brand that truly reflects the values it was built on — personal connection, dependable craftsmanship, and genuine care for every musician we serve.

A Note from Smitty
