This calculator makes it easy to estimate the price of one
of my custom-built instruments. Just select the type of instrument, then
select the extra features you want. It's
that easy. Remember, some options (like inlay, binding, and carving) are priced depending on
the amount of work required. So if you plan on ordering certain options, we'll need to
discuss your requirements to determine the total cost.
I hand craft each instrument to the highest standards of quality
using proven designs that combine the best features available today. My approach to
building allows a high degree of customization, using state of the art components, and
adding your choices of complementary artistic styling. For excellent tone, performance
and playability, extra care is given at each step throughout the design, construction,
and setup phase of each instrument.
Important! This calculator is intended to provide a ballpark estimate only.
The actual cost may be more or less than the estimate shown. Total cost is determined
only after I've discussed the project with you, and we've come to an agreement on what it will entail.
