Models currently in use:
Please Note: The models listed below are not necessarily the only possibilities available. The list is intended as a guide only, to give an overview of the sort of variety I offer. I am always happy to research or even design a new model. I am also open to designing and building 'one-off' custom models, subject to certain 'terms'. Please ask for any options, pricing and lead times.

Notes:
- All models can be constructed in modern, transitional or baroque set-up. Particular models have been selected so as to give a range of sizes, especially in the case of violas and celli, but a new model can be researched and patterns made to suit any individual requirements.
- VAT is not charged, as I am no longer registered for VAT, and therefore cannot be reclaimed if exported either. But it means also the prices are 20% lower for all.
- Fittings of client's choice can only be of the highest quality, and strings of choice fitted, to suit the instrument. Stock instruments can be altered to suit at no extra charge.
- I try at all times to hold some examples of my work in stock, for immediate trial, and for sale. Please enquire.
- Please read my 'Terms of Trade', linked above, for more information.
- A 'lifetime' warrantee' (subject to 'terms and conditions') is offered on all my instruments, applicable to the original buyer only.
Visitors to the studio are welcomed, but strictly by appointment only.
