I Specialize In Bowed Psalteries.

I offer a lifetime guarantee on all instruments I sell.

I feel that this emphasis on only one type of instrument gives me the unique opportunity to focus all of my energies and thoughts on a single goal: to build the best bowed psaltery possible. I am continuously seeking out new and innovative ways to build and design psalteries, and I think that this shows in the instruments I have for sale.

If any defect or other problem arises due to materials used or workmanship, I will fix or replace it for free, excluding the cost of shipping it to me. No time limits.

But don't take my word for it: check out my ever-changing blog to get a behind the scenes look at my shop, and what others have to say about the psalteries that I am building for them.
