Prices and ordering

How an order works, and what an instrument from the workshop costs.

How to order

  1. Your request

    Write to us: the instrument you are interested in, how you play, what inspires you. We will offer you a meeting to answer your questions, guide you and advise you on the making of your future instrument.

  2. The signed quote

    Once we have defined together the elements of your future instrument, we will send you a quote. As soon as it comes back to us signed, you are officially in our order book.

  3. The deposit

    A deposit of 30% of the quote, by bank transfer. Once paid, it can no longer be cancelled or refunded.

  4. The making

    Allow 6 to 12 months depending on the model and our order book; the estimated delivery date will appear on the quote. No other payment is asked of you while the work is under way.

  5. Delivery

    The balance is due a few days before delivery. You can collect your instrument at the workshop, by appointment, or we can ship it by carrier anywhere in the world, on quote.

The quote is free if it comes back to us signed within 15 days; after that, 10% of its amount is charged.
