2027-2028 Price List

Order Book

I am really sad to announce, as of the 12th of August 2026, due to PWPR/EPR laws for shipping and packaging I can no longer ship to anywhere in the EU economic zone(USA, Australia and the rest of the world are unaffected). Instruments can on dropped off in person at London euston Station by arrangment, or collected from me in Nuneaton, Warwickshire

3 spaces left on my books. Current waiting times are 18 months from today (August 2026). To reduce lead times, I’ll close my order book again shortly, with the goal of returning to less than 12 months’ wait for non-custom models as soon as possible.

If you wish to have a place on my reserve waiting list, or you’re seeking a specific instrument, please get in touch. I occasionally have stock available.
