The prices shown do not include case, shipping and taxes.
To confirm an order I require a deposit of 150 euro. The balance is required before shipping or delivery and must be paid by bank transfer.
All payments must be made in euro. All bank charges must be met by the customer. I accept PayPal payments for deposits only.
The final price paid for an instrument will be the price originally quoted.
Even if I'll make all my efforts to make an instrument as scheduled I can't give any guarantee in having the instrument completed by a given date. However I'll keep the customer up-to-date about the building of his/her instrument.

Deposits are non-refundable.  
An instrument that has not been fully paid for six weeks after completion will be offered for sale, and the deposit retained.
All my instruments are guaranteed for a period of two years against defects in materials or workmanship. After this time, a payable service is available for any repair or adjustment needed. Shipping costs are paid by the customer even during the warranty period. To enjoy the protection of the guarantee it is understood and agreed that the instrument must be kept in a proper way (e.g. an instrument strung for 415 Hz. tuning should not be tuned at 440 Hz. without changing the strings. I can supply a strings list for the required tuning).
Unless I receive other instructions I will order the case from the firm, RCH (or Kingham), and have the invoice sent to the customer. I will be responsible for sending the firm chosen accurate drawings and measurements so that the case can be made correctly. It should be understood that any problems regarding making the case, the materials used, finishes or other problems that may arise in the future are entirely the responsibility of the firm that has constructed it and are a matter that concerns the client and the firm itself.
I can ship my instruments worldwide. Please note that the instruments always travel at the customers risk. The customer should insure the transportation.
