Instruments

Click on the links to the left or below to find out more about the instruments we make.

All instruments carry a minimum 12-month guarantee to the original purchaser; see Terms & conditions.

We can arrange to fit a pickup to an instrument (no charge for the fitting); please contact us to discuss your requirements. We usually fit Headway pickups.

If you're interested in purchasing an instrument, we usually have some in stock and available now for immediate despatch. However, many of our instruments are made to order; see How to buy.

If you'd like to try an instrument before you buy, the easiest way is to find us at a festival. (This year's festival season is almost at an end, but details of our festival schedule for 2012 will be posted on the Home page as soon as possible.) Or contact us to make an appointment to try an instrument.
