For Custom instruments I have to allow extra time for research, sourcing materials, usually there is a surcharge of 25% on Custom one off models, Some instruments need to be built in stages, where wood is gradually acclimatised to become an instrument, Hollowed out lyres and Harps and also guitars for example benefit from this extra time. As of January 2017 with new CITES changes I will no longer use Rosewood, B
Ordering
Lead time varies from instrument type to level of customisation, 6-18 months average, longer for new instruments. For Custom orders I now require a
Delivery overseas is now by federal Express, here in the UK by next day delivery, royal mail or courier.
Payment:
Most of my in stock instruments are now handled through
Please feel free to email if you have any questions!
Custom order book opens again January 2023 should then be 6-8 months wait most standard instruments.
7 String Lyres and its 6 string Anglo/viking models and one or two Stick Dulcimers etc are still be available until then still contact via email or etsy shop
Shifting to batch production for my etsy shop which in the Long run will improve waiting times and availability,
Do email me if there is something you are looking for but I can only slightly adjust items in a batch, like timbers, numbers of strings etc,
Workshop: Working safely at home, isolating as much as possible during Covid restrictions with some delays with supplies and some backlog to orders which I am working through, Small items sent out by Royal mail have been taking a little longer, instruments shipped and tracked worldwide by FedEX worldwide have been getting to customers more quickly.
Exotic timbers: These will be mostly phased out by end of 2022. (with a few plantation and fsc exceptions) always Looking at sustainable projects and alternatives. Local and Urban timber. Rocklite or Torrified timber for some fingerboards, etc Will be reducing plastic packaging where I can and use cardboard boxes and recycled materials for shipping,
I run my business mostly online, working from family home, small workshop not open to public.
May be able to offer in person meetings in the Future by arrangement, My workshop is being re-organised over the next year or two and hoping to build some stock for 2022 so I have examples on hand which is not the case at present.
