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 as each instrument is supplied as ‘bare bones’ to be set-up 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.
Instruments are supplied in a ‘bare-bones’ format with just ebony pegs and ebony fingerboard and are available in 3 grades that relate directly to tone-wood selections.
