Payment and Shipping
Instruments that are in stock will have the price shown in the title of the page, ones that are sold will be marked as sold. I don’t have buttons to order instruments directly because the shipping cost is so variable depending on the distance. I ship by UPS Ground in the US, and all instruments are shipped fully insured. To find out what shipping will cost please send me an email with your zip code (or your country and your postal code if you’re outside the US) and what you’re interested in ordering. I will look up the shipping cost and email you a quote, and if you decide to buy I can send you a PayPal invoice. Overseas shipments mostly go by USPS, depending on the country. Generally banjos cost between $40 and $100 to ship domestically, guitars may cost a bit more to any given destination depending on the size, and fiddles, mandolins and dulcimers are a bit less.
If you would prefer to send payment by mail that is fine too. I’m not currently set up for any of the other payment platforms online, but PayPal invoices can be paid whether or not you have a PayPal account, and they accept several forms of payment including cards, Apple Pay, etc. If you have any questions please email me at [email protected]
Returns
I have a 7 day trial period for any in-stock instrument. If you don’t like it you can let me know within 7 days of receipt and send it back for a full refund of the purchase price, though the shipping cost will not be refunded as it will have been paid to UPS already. Custom builds are not covered by this policy, as they are made to your specifications and may not be what someone else would want. If you should have a problem in the future with anything I have built I will repair it or do my best to otherwise make it right with you.
Custom Instruments
If you are interested in having a custom instrument built to your specifications please send me an email. I will be happy to discuss the details with you. If you see an instrument that you like that has already been sold I would be happy to make you another one like it, though of course it won’t look quite the same as the original since every piece of wood is a bit different.
