Prices
The following Price List is intended as a guide. Variations in individual requirements for decoration and finish detail will inevitably have an effect on the final price.
This list is not comprehensive. Do please get in touch to discuss your exact requirements. I will be pleased to provide a quote.
My prices do not include cases. I highly recommend having a case made for any new instrument. I can quote for a fitted Kingham MTM case on request.
