Instrument Reviews

On this page I have written out reviews on some of the many instruments I have worked on, played, owned and borrowed over the years for you to read and enjoy. I am not sponsored or associated with any instrument brands nor below am I an expert on instrument history. If you see inaccurate information regarding origins of an instrument, please feel free to correct me as most of my knowledge comes from bits and pieces of information I have picked up from various sources and individuals over the years. I love instrument history and I always want to learn more about the topic. My playing impressions are my personal opinions based on my preferences, tastes, and playing skill level at the time of the review writing. I hope you all enjoy reading my thoughts and learning a bit more about these often undocumented and underrated instruments.

NOTE: I am in the process of writing new reviews, editing and rewriting old reviews and posting better images of the instruments. Thank you!
