Pricelist and Order Information

Copies of the instrument mentioned below are for sale. Available in blank, transparant red or transparant green. Blue is an exclusive color for the first proto-type and my own copies.

 

For people who have not very much money, I regularly give building workshops. Try to catch one of those and you can have your own Home Swinger for about 120 Euro.

 

Circulation of the intruments

IÕm having a few instruments in stock for purchasal. Not sure if I continue serializing, since I prefer to make as many different models as possible for my own excitement.

I make very little amounts of guitars yearly, approximately 20 instruments per year, and I mainly focus on artistic presentations and workshops booked by Julie Tippex. Some orders will take about 6 months, but most of the time one year. Some of the instruments are allready finished and can be bought immediatelly though.

I try to keep the models exclusive to ensure the instrument is a good investment as a collectable object for the purchasor. Take a look at the E-bay prices of the Gittler Guitar or the Fender Swinger and you will understand the future market value of small-serialized guitars, especially when they are odd and famous. ItÕs similar to collecting stamps, but a lot more rock Ôn roll. Although I must admit the Inverted Jenny is a pretty wild stamp! Not sure if I can compete with that.

 

Future products

IÕm working on an electric mbira guitar and a overtone violin, to be released as soon as possible.

 

I only do special requests for touring bands or bands I approach.

Please donÕt mail me for your own interest how to buildÉ or weird impossible instrument proposals. Although IÕm interested, I donÕt have the time to take care of it. When IÕm giving a presentation or lecture we can chat for hours about wood, strings, metal, etc..
