Luthier's Supplies
I do now have some wood to sell, ( No, I am not yet retiring but reducing my stock,) which includes many sets of high quality maple, and some aged mature spruce sets, for violin, viola and cello. All items selected and sourced from the best suppliers over a lifetime of making, sourced from all over the world, including much wood of the highest quality, well matured, purchased from the estate of the late David Rubio. As much of my large stock is now surplus to requirements, selected stock is now available for younger makers to take advantage of obtaining top quality, 'ready-to-use', mature and well-seasoned wood.
List of woods available now for sale: (more wood, tools, and other workshop items to follow soon)
- Rack A, violin and viola backs, neck blocks and rib wood
- Bow Hair: I have bundles of 125 gms, 250 gms and 500 gms of Premium white AAA grade bow hair, all 81 cms long, unbleached Wild Mongolian mare's hair. Better quality and better prices than any other UK importer. It works out at £0.65 per gramme, so a 125 bundle would cost £81.25, the 250 gms bundle £162.50, and the 500 gms bundle £325, all plus postage. There is NO added VAT.
