It has been my privilege to make instruments for some well-known musicians. These experiences have taught me a great deal about my work and have expanded my abilities with each such encounter. However, I have also learned many important things from a great many of my clients. Most of my clientele comes from the ranks of professional musicians, advanced students, as well as from serious amateurs.
For those who may be interested, I offer a partial list of my clients and a list of recordings in which my instruments are featured as solo.
