Trying to ensure good marketing practices and customer confidence is very important. Of the 65 instruments I have sold already, only ten or so were in person. Many of those were paid for by check, in my living room... a show of faith on my part. Most folks who buy off the website also do so with a personal check. It shows a lot of faith in me. I take that confidence very seriously. 
    Lately we have been using PayPal, which I have used mostly in the past to pay out, to receive money in. It worked great. Gave us both a margin of safety and accountability. And more importantly, it is fairly instant. So if you have more confidence using PayPal then we can do that.

     Cash works; in person of course. Personal checks, Money orders, and Bank Transfers will all work. When the check clears,and I can be sure it's good... immediate shipping. This can take some time, as clever scammers are always trying to steal honest merchants' goods. 

Shipping Costs are Included.
​ Insurance During Shipping is Included.
 Prices reflect the total cost of the Instrument... No extra charges to consider.

It is indeed a rare thing to find a custom instrument ready and available off of the shelf... Most are made specifically for singular tastes. But I do continue to build them even if I have no other orders. So, it does happen. If you see something you like, move quickly! They usually don't last long.
