Greetings:

I am a stringed instrument builder on Cape Cod.  My first and foremost calling is teaching. young people how to create things out of wood, including  stringed instruments.

Because teaching  is my primary pursuit, I accept only a few commissions per year.  My  instrument building season is from October through May, taking advantage of the drier winter weather, so the best time to contact me about a commission is  in late spring-summer. I specialize in instruments in the bass range, including  Electric Basses, Electric Upright Basses, and acoustic instruments, though I do build  acoustic and electric  6 string guitars as well, including archtops.

 

Kindly contact me at  karl(at)hoytbasses (dot)com to enter into a discussion about your  commission idea. Thank you for visiting.
