After 2005, I will no longer be taking orders for instruments. I ask for patience and understanding regarding this decision. When instruments are completed they will be put up for sale on the website and in the shop. Detailed plans for their construction should also be available either on the website or in specialty building books which are in their formative stages at this time. I still intend to continue to try to expand the website in order to share knowledge and encourage others to make their own instruments.
Visitors are welcome to the shop and showroom.
Amateur luthiers and those wishing building advice are requested to come after 4PM weekdays or Saturday AM so that I will be free to spend time in discussions without destroying my work day. The reason for this is that I have set 2003 as the target date for having my ukulele making book finished and to the publishers. If I don't put time aside and make such a definite objective, I'll never finish it. I intend to expand this area greatly with detailed instructions and examples. Frankly, I view the first part as the more generally valuable since lutherie practices are so idiosyncratic anyway, varying greatly from one person to another, that no one would wish to follow my entire process step by step.
