My Service

Commission your own instrument

Owning a handcrafted instrument is a transformation experience for any musician.

At my workshop, I specialise in making violins, violas, and cellos tailored to your individual artistic and technical needs.

Commissioning an instrument is an opportunity to collaborate in the creation of a piece that will enhance your musical journey and stand as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship.

Approach

How I work

The Commissioning Process

01

Initial Consultation

The process begins with a detailed discussion of your vision. Together, we will define your
instrument’s characteristics, from tonal preferences to aesthetic details such as varnish colour and wood selection. Every element is chosen with your style and aspirations in mind.

02

Design & Material Selection

I source only the finest wood and materials to ensure superior sound quality, durability, and
beauty. Every detail of the instrument is meticulously planned and designed to meet your
expectations.

03

Crafting Your Instrument

Once the design is finalised, I begin the intricate process of bringing your vision to life.
Throughout the crafting process, I keep you informed, sharing updates and ensuring the result aligns perfectly with your needs.

04

Delivery

Upon completion, your bespoke instrument will be ready to inspire your music, offering
unparalleled comfort, tone, and aesthetic appeal.

Investment & Upfront Costs

Commissioning a bespoke instrument is an investment in artistry and excellence.
To initiate the process, I require a 20% non-refundable deposit, which covers the cost of premium materials
and secures your project in my schedule.
The remaining balance is divided across project milestones, with the final payment due upon delivery.

This approach ensures transparency and allows you to follow the progress of your instrument’s
creation with confidence.

Tailored Sound & Feel
