Q. What is your ‘best’ price?

A. My best price is what you see. I set a fair price in the first place and don’t mark up in order to be able to give a discount. To put it another way the price I put up is my best price, you don't have to bargain to get it, the bargaining is already done. I am not a ‘box shifter’ (comes in a box, leaves in the same box without it having been opened). All instruments are fully checked and set up. Occasionally if I have had an instrument in stock for a long time or am discontinuing that model or line a small discount might be available.

My guitar and mandolin makers have lead times of up to (and sometimes over) a year. When I sell an instrument I can't get a replacement within a few days in the way that can be done with the large manufacturers.
