Instruments are normally built to individual
order, though a small stock is sometimes available. Pricing varies
depending on the type of instrument, timber used, numbers of
extension keys and style of finish. Since instruments are
handbuilt, particular requirements (side blow for sizes smaller
than bass, thumbrest fitting etc) can usually be accommodated
easily.
Crumhorns and cornamusen can be provided in
soprano, alto, tenor and bass sizes, with or without extension
keys. Instruments are normally fitted with synthetic reeds (from
the Early Music Shop, Bradford, UK) for ease of maintenance and
trouble-free playing. Crumhorns are built in sycamore and finished
in stain and varnish. Cornamusen are available in sycamore (stain
and varnish) or other hardwoods with an oil finish (contact me for
availability of timbers). Starting prices for a basic instrument
are given in the table below.
