I sell at a few select festivals or
by post. A visit to my workshop in Welshpool in
Mid-Wales is always possible by prior arrangement
(no fixed opening times). I can offer advice,
information and repairs. I am an experienced
musician and can demonstrate the instruments; and
those who are interested, including beginners, can
try out the instruments. I am also available for
workshops and concerts.
