Me too. 403 error. Do you have an index file? It looks to me like you are missing a main index file and so the server thinks that the user is trying to access the file list on the server which is not permitted.

I just fixed this issue. It was based on being on a mobile device I think. Please try again.

I hope you are after critique that could improve your presentation rather than a pat on the back. In general visually good.

Sincerity comes through in your writing but it is too wordy.

The use of serif fonts throughout is unusual. Generally serif fonts are reserved for the printed word. They are more difficult to read on a monitor. Your site would be better with smaller text and a font designed to be read on a monitor.

Mobile - Looks fine @ 1:1 aspect ratio
Desktop - plenty of unused real estate @ 16:10.

What resolution/audience did you optimize your site for?

I like the listening room page. Half of the videos didn't load, but I like the feature.

Hey Chris

I just looked through quickly. I noticed a typo on the binding jig page. Should be "Thorough" instruction via email.

Thanks for all the help guys. I was hoping that you might find some stuff I had missed. I am not a web designer by any far reach of the imagination, so this is very helpful.
