INSTRUMENTS


In addition to offering quality older instruments that have proven there musical strength over time, I also offer newly made instruments by a select number of makers and workshops. These are instruments that are made in the traditional manner, using traditional materials, thus insuring that they will withstand the passage of time. Although they are new, I choose instruments that possess a mature, deep, rich tone and play evenly through out all registers. You will find a range of instruments to meet all tastes.
