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, Saltaire, 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.
