Thanks for pointing these out, Andy. As Steinar said, those are some nice designs.

Hi,
Thanks, Andy for mentioning the website.
I am Ferdinand, the builder of the instruments. For the last five years I have been building professionaly on the instruments. I run a small workshop in the center of Amsterdam.
As for the sound samples... For the moment I am very happy to have at least SOME samples... If you have suggestions on what would be useful for a musician to hear, I would be happy to listen.
I am also aware of the problem building instruments oversea, while it would be great to sell in USA. At the moment I try to find ways to have testing reviews etc. Of course time and money is involved here. Suggestions at this point are also welcome.
I would like to invite everybody who has questions, or suggestions to contact me, by email, or by this forum.
Thanks for the support,
Fern,
