The Recorder a Basic Workshop Manual

After being out of print for more than 12 years, I have just heard that the new edition is finally out, albeit 2 years after having written the revision. It can be ordered directly from the publisher, Dolce Editions via the following link: http://www.dolce-edition.com/workshop.html

Downloads

MP3 files of my recorders available for download

I have started a small gallery of MP3 files which I feel illustrate and show the possibilities of my instruments. I hope to be able to add to these over the next year and eventually feature all the models I make. These are can be downloaded for private use via the link in the menu; please be sure to credit the performers for any public broadcast, or professional use.

Vienna catalogue and Musicque de Joye symposium proceedings

A list of all my articles is now accessible via this link, along with a collection of external links to sites offering the material. 

Recorder Types

I have recently made the decision to cut down the number of different models I make, particularly some of the less popular types. Orders already confirmed will of course be respected, but I need the time to be able to develop new models of renaissance recorders in the future.

Waiting list

At the time of writing, orders due this year are experiencing some delays, but I hope to be able to get back up to schedule by the end of this year. My waiting list for new orders is currently about 5 years, meaning most instruments ordered now, should be delivered by the end of 2015. Please read my thoughts about waiting lists and orders under the page "terms and conditions". This is not the usual collection of get-out clauses and legal niceties but some explanation of the practical problems of dealing with long waiting lists and shifting orders. From now on, I will list any unsold instruments on my page "instruments for immediate sale".

Ordering

I have got rid of my complicated order form I now ask just for a description of the instruments needed. I will then communicate with you about your personal requirements. I do not take any deposits for orders, again please read this page before ordering.
