- We design and manufacture musical instruments that bear our family name. Quality and consistency are second to none and because we sell our products direct in the UK (not through wholesalers, distributors and retailers) you can expect to pay around half the cost of equivalent products from a high street or internet shop.
- We have an excellent reputation for quality products and helpful customer service which a few Google searches will confirm. 85% of orders are from repeat customers or referrals. All instruments are available with a 5 year warranty and our 5 years free servicing and repair scheme gives you peace of mind which no other company comes even close to.
- When you shop with us you can be confident that we will look after you so well that you want to shop with us again!
- We take great pride in a job well done and make every effort to have happy customers!
- We strive to work ethically and responsibly, operate to our own fair trade policy, buy FSC certified timber and generally do our best to be good people.
