OUR HISTORY

Hobgoblin Music was founded in 1976 by Mannie and Pete McClelland while searching for a concertina for her to play.

Hobgoblin in Minnesota is operated by Stoneyend harps. The harps and other instruments are handmade right here in Redwing, and you will find them on display here alongside the Hobgoblin Music range of folk and acoustic musical instruments.
