With the passage of years I have come to focus my efforts on challenging restorations of instruments
that may take months or years. I have limited my sales inventory to a few instruments and bows that
I am truly proud to represent, especially from working makers that I know.
Inspired by these makers and the ancient instruments I have had the privilege to work on
I feel challenged to make a few more.
The wood I have has been waiting decades, and it is calling.
Thus I try to limit my appointment times to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
While I am available for small repairs, adjustments and consultations I can’t let
them impede the progress of my long term projects.
Already my waiting list runs for many months into the future.
I offer written insurance appraisals of instruments and bows including photography for about $175 per item.
