New mural to brighten the facade of Elderly Instruments

Dave Matchett/Elderly Instruments

Elderly Instruments in Lansing has been selling stringed instruments in Lansing’s Old Town for decades. Most visitors to that part of town are familiar with the old brick building they occupy. 

That facade will soon be a little brighter thanks to a huge mural painted on the front of the building by California-based artist Jennifer Springman. The mural will be painted on the big building just north of the iconic Washington Avenue location. 

 
Current State's Scott Pohl talks to Springman and Elderly Instruments public relations specialist Lily Werbin about adding some color to the west end of Old Town.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
