Really nice website! Not only an impressive selection of instruments, but beautifully presented (really top notch photography, which is hardly surprising after visiting your photography section!). Very enjoyable to browse through the site.

Lovely pictures and I wish you well. It the instruments look lovely. One minor issue I had on was the folk flute playing Blarney Pilgrim, the only recording I had time to listen too actually. There seemed to be a heavy mastering of the sound with a lot of reverb. I honestly couldn't tell what the flute actually sounds like. Those who buy sight unseen from a website might appreciate a clean recording, a "this is what is sounds like in a room without amplification" as well. Just a thought. I am sorry if I am being picky, just trying to give you honest feedback. There is a youtube video... I can't remember which whistle is being played... but the person played a tune on something like a Feadog, which sounds like a Feadog, then masters it to the point where it sounds like something out of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. That was my immediate association when I heard the Barney Pilgrim. Good luck to you! We need more makers out there.

Hello Grzegorz,

Lovely website nicely done. Can I add to the chorus of requests for a current price list?

Wishing you all the best from Down Under in Australia.

Yes, the absence of a price list always suggests the old maxim that "If you've got to ask, you can't afford it".
Unfair in this case, I'm sure.....

I have one of Grzegorz's renaissance flutes. It's a nice piece, although I've reached my Peter principle when it comes to playing ren flutes.

You can get an idea of pricing and stock on ebay, seller name elenori1 .
