Goals

  1. Playability. Optimum setup at the nut and fingerboard for easy playing. 
  2. Balanced consistent tonal qualities.
  3. Perfecting fit and finish. 
  4. I stand behind my work. You get a 48 hour approval period after delivery. If you are not satisfied, return the instrument for a full refund, or have another one made. 
  5. Warrantee coverage for materials and workmanship. 

Philosophy

I use only the highest grades of materials for the construction . That includes base models to full trim. I use hide glue for the construction of the sound boxes for maximum sound quality. I use lacquer, shellac and oil varnish for a durable thin finish depending on the instrument. I utilize vintage construction techniques for most instruments while keeping up with modern techniques. Setup and playability are primary considerations for every instrument.
