Custom instruments
Whether you’re a professional musician or a hobbyist, we offer custom instruments for everyone.
We often have newly built and restored instruments available in our shop [link coming soon].
If you don’t see the option that’s right for you, we’re always taking orders for custom builds. To start the conversation just contact us through the button below.
In our initial consultation, we’ll talk through your acoustic, ergonomic and aesthetic preferences as a musician. We will match those preferences with materials and design that match your taste and budget, ensuring the result is a instrument you can enjoy for a lifetime. See the gallery below for examples of some of our instruments and hear them in action.
