How to Commission the Instrument You’ll Love
Once the specification is finalised and with your slot in my build schedule secured, I will advise you of the approximate completion date. When your instrument is completed I will inform you. Finished instruments are shipped fully insured via tracked courier service. Alternatively you are welcome to collect directly from the workshop in Hebden Bridge.
I am occasionally able to build on-spec instruments. To see what (if anything) is currently available, have a look.
