Cool. Do you need an apprentice (with a master's degree) to help you out ;)

[GuitarViols]

Please contact me directly. Thanks.

Custom instruments are always more expensive than factory produtions. As far as I know, he is a one-man operation, and he has to do everything during production. And to top it, it's a totally unique instrument. Bowed instruments are pretty tough to make too (lots of radii to deal with).

You sir, have built the instrument of my dreams. Something to work towards, certainly.

Is there a specific reason the Guitarviols are so expensive?

And can we ever expect a Guitarviol to be sold at a realistic price? (as in 100 - 600 is what I consider a "realistic" price)
