Reactions are coming in and are, as anticipated, very good. Personally I played her Alto and saw a lute back from a distance. Both very positive.

I have one of her guitar shaped instruments. It is as beautiful to play as it looks. Being Scots I am VERY fussy but absolutely nothing was a problem to Claire. When I ordered the instrument I was given a date and it arrived one year later on time. The standard of work is high and "Baby" as she is called is admired where ever I play. I play only French music and the sound is excellent, when I have it shimmed correctly. I can recommend these instruments highly also the service from Claire and Kai is excellent. They are rare here as well, I have the only one.

Is there someone out there who has any experience with her instruments? They are very rare in these parts of the world Since giving comments on a builder is rather personal I prefer being contacted off-list at <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] or <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, Pieter Lauwers Dorpsstraat 84 3050 Oud-Heverlee Belgium 016/405122 0497854147 <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged information.
