Prices and sales terms
All my instruments are build on request, in accordance with a building schedule agreed upon by you and me. The price very much depends on the type of finishing. You'll find below a few indicative prices for clavichords.
Please note that the prices quoted here are guide prices for instruments with organic oiled finish. Veneering and other finishes at extra cost. Prices quoted here include the Belgian VAT 21% and are ex works.
I usually ask for one third of the total price with your order, one third when the soundboard is glued and the final balance upon delivery (or just before delivery for overseas orders). Delivery and insurance costs during transportation, as well as local taxes, to be paid by the customer. Your order is confirmed upon receiving your deposit.
For more precise quotations or for quotations for other instruments, harpsichords, spinets, virginals, do not hesitate to contact me by phone or by email.
