Instrument Sales & Repair
Over 30 years experience building and repairing instruments of superior quality and design. I take great pride in delivering instruments which will give a lifetime of joy and satisfaction. I repair instruments of all types. In addition to repairing drums, guitars and string instruments, I specialize in repairing unusual and exotic instruments.
Here is a list of custom-made instruments that I build:
-
Ngoni - a type of West Africa guitar harp.
-
Berimbau - a single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow.
-
Cajon - a box-shaped percussion instrument originally from Peru now common in Flamenco music.
-
Frame drums - any drum with a head wider than its depth, it is one of the most common and culturally transcendent drums in the world.
-
Ocean drum - a drum that can produce soothing ocean sounds.
-
Dunduns - rope-tuned cylindrical drums with rawhide skin at both ends from West Africa.
-
Brekete - a closed double-headed cylindrical snare-drum traditionally from Ghana.

Various percussion instruments and accessories
Below are some instruments that I have recently built and repaired. You can find my hand-made instruments available at my Etsy shop. I would love to create a custom, one-of-a-kind instrument just for you. Please contact me with any questions you have about instrument repairs and custom-made instruments.
