Developing these instruments was a joyful experience and I hope that you may feel a bit of that joy while playing them.  My main goal was to create something with a soul; something one can bond to.  I believe that this is of the utmost importance, if one would approach music on a higher level, beyond the technical or mathematical. My prices are extremely low. I import and sell directly from the manufacturer,  with whom I have a long and friendly relationship. The resulting savings are passed on to you.  There is no magic involved, merely solid business relationships and an eye (and an ear) for quality musical instruments.  I can promise you a happy musical experience with an unsurpassed price to performance ratio.  I have been a musician for over 25 years and tried to infuse these instruments with a bit of my love for the celtic music.
