These are not your garden variety music store axes, but uncommon musical instruments designed to meet the needs of innovative players looking for something a little different.
Every effort is made to build the finest sounding and playing instruments.
Their expense results from the quality of the materials and workmanship rather than unnecessary detail or excessive ornamentation. Materials are chosen for utility, tone, and appearance. Domestic and lesser known exotic tonewoods are favored over rare, overpriced, and often endangered species. Natural and manufactured materials are combined with appropriate adhesives and fasteners, at optimum humidity, to insure the stability and durability of the instruments.
