Description
The ‘Makers’ instrument range is completely hand-crafted in a small workshop in the northern China region. This husband-wife team produce a small, select reserve of instruments per year focusing of tonal excellence rather than quantity.
‘Makers’ instruments feature carefully selected well-flamed 2-piece maple backs with matching neck-blocks and well-seasoned, close and straight grained spruce tops for use in their small workshop specialising in plate graduating and tonal excellence. Their hand-applied oil varnish and subtle antiquing is outstanding. With a limited number of instruments produced yearly, the fine workmanship is very apparent both tonally & in appearance with each proudly-made instrument.
This range is designed for Australian makers, luthiers and specialists in mind and presented to our market uniquely reflecting the character and preferences of each Australian luthier. This typically includes the use of the best componentry: pairing of European strings, high-grade French bridges, German Wittner Ultralight Tailpiece etc.
Our price includes full workshop set up (valued at $300+) by our in-house luthier to ensure good sound and easy playability. Case & bow are available as optional extra and are not included in this price.
