Before you choose

Can I try an instrument before buying it?
Yes, it is essential. Book a one-hour slot at the workshop; if an instrument speaks to you, you can then take it home for a week to try it at home, in a hall or with your teacher.
Are prices negotiable?
These are the prices of a luthier who makes few instruments, and they are fixed. On the other hand, trading in your current instrument and paying in three instalments often help.
Do you make instruments to order?
Yes. Allow about eight months for a violin or a viola, a year for a cello. We choose the model, the wood and the colour of the varnish together.
Do you ship instruments?
I always prefer the musician to come, try and leave with a set-up made for them. For buyers abroad, a hand delivery or a specialist carrier can be discussed.
