First Step - try an Instrument

Help us understand your performance intentions and personal playing preferences - we'll hand you a selection of appropriate instruments.

Second Step - Personalization

You may find you enjoy the fluid action of a low string height. Or you may prefer the willing string response of a more westward soundpost. We'll make as many iterations and test as many configurations as is required to find the most inspiring and comfortable feel - all for free for the lifetime you own or rent.

Third Step - optimization and refinement

As you evolve as an artist and develop new repertoire, your instrument may require adaptations and enhancements. We'll troubleshoot and experiment with setups until your instrument feels and sounds adequate to your evolving needs.
