Echoes from the Shark Tank

It was last summer that Voyage-Air guitar was featured on the hit ABC-TV show Shark Tank, where Jeff Cohen, co-founder of Voyage-Air, was given a chance to raise investment capital to grow the company. That show helped put the new folding guitar before the public nationwide.
