-I am currently taking new orders for the 2024 year
Inquiries are always welcome. Smallpipe sets are made to order, and as such can be customized to your preferences and needs. Custom options can include (but are not limited to) choice of materials, external design and drone configuration. Working by hand and making only one set at a time allows me the opportunity to produce an instrument to suit your particular aesthetic or sonic needs.
Please contact me by email or phone directly with any questions and I will be happy to discuss my instruments.
