Hand Crafted and Made in New Zealand
Usually people order a hand-crafted instrument because either they have a special need for something different (left handed etc), or their standard of instrument required is higher than the factory-made instruments which can be bought off shelf. Take a moment to write down on a piece of paper what your ‘dream’ instrument would be like. Nothing is impossible….
Below are examples of what can be ordered. Crafted to the highest of standards from the finest European woods. And hand oil-varnished. Aside from the instruments of the violin family, instruments of its historical family are also available.
