16/15/7 Chromatic


As You Like It

I offer you the highest quality instrument I can build. It has many features that other makers offer as options.

The sound board can be made of either Honduran Mahogany or Western Red Ceder. I use Poplar for the back. The pin blocks are laminated Hard Maple. The top and bottom rails can be the wood of your choice. I have used Quarter-Sawn White Oak, Black Walnut, Birdseye Maple and Cherry.

The course spacing and number of strings per course is up to you. 1" is my usual spacing but 1 1/16" or 1 1/8" are also popular.

The bridges are made of Rosewood or Maple. The scale marks are usually contrasting Maple or Walnut. But again, it's up to you.

Each instrument comes with a set of high quality hammers and a tuning wrench.
