News and Updates:
December 7, 2009
The
smaller sized instrument , #45, was completed
in September and photos have now been posted to the photo
gallery. This particular instrument features an Art Deco
endplate design that is only available on the smaller
instrument. The smaller instrument is also offered with
the traditional Wheatstone pattern.
Photos of instrument #30
have also now been posted. Instrument #30 features a new wood option:
Santos Rosewood with black trim. This wood also looks very
nice with Indian Rosewood trim.
We are now working on six
instruments that will bring us into the lower
60's.

Things
have been hectic around the shop with several new developments
underway. The three most notable include 1) a new
adjustable lever action that is now standard on all new instruments,
2) adding C#/G# to the list of available tunings and 3) a
smaller sized instrument which measures approximately 5 5/8"
across the ends. The new action allows the owner to
tighten individual levers in order to eliminate any clicking that
develops as the instrument experiences wear. The smaller sized
instrument is still in development and the first instrument should
be completed by the end of summer.
In other news,
Instrument #48 was just completed and nos. 49 and 50 will be
completed by the end of next week.

Instrument #40 (pictured to
the left) is the most ambitious instrument we have made to
date. This instrument features our first set of bellows papers,
a unique wood combination (Amboyna ends with Padauk trim),
brass buttons, and two sets of interchangeable reed
pans in the keys of C/G and Bflat/F.
Also, recently posted to
the photo gallery are photos of Instrument
#33 which features Padauk
ends with Mahogany trim and brass
buttons.
In the
future new instruments will only be posted
to the photo gallery if they offer something different
from existing models.

Instruments
#35 and #37 will ship next week. #36 is in production along
with #38-40. We are averaging about 2.5 instruments per
month. If you are in the 40's or 50's, you should begin to
think about what options you would like on your
instrument. Because of the increase in production, I am
lowering the wait time to approximately 2-1/2
years.

Instrument #30 was completed in September and
#31 shipped on October 3rd. #32 is about a week away from
shipping and #33 is moving along as well.
Aug 12, 2008
Instrument #28
has shipped, #29 is nearly complete and #30 is also moving
along.
Over the past two weeks, we have received a
large number of new orders. Because of all that is going on at the
shop (see July 7th note) I don't have a good handle yet on when
a newly received order will be completed. The best
guess I can make is between 3-5 years. Over the next
couple of months I should get a better idea of how the new
innovations and employees are affecting the
schedule.
July 7, 2008
The new shop
is up and running, 4 assistants have begun work, and things
have been moving along at a dizzying pace. Unfortunately, it
has become very difficult finding time to update the website.
Here is a brief summary of what we've been up to.
Instrument
#27 was completed in June, #28 is nearly complete and 29
is moving along as well. In addition, over 30 more
instruments are in various stages of production.
New
reed making equipment has been installed and is producing reeds of
the highest caliber.
