Creating Custom Crystal and Hardwood Bridges for Your Instrument

          Are you still making musical vibrations through plastic???                         My passion is to apply crystals to the musical experience.     Crystal bridges enhance the tonal quality of a musical instrument. The musical vibrations activate the pressurized crystals, creating piezo-electric properties, which promotes a deeper level of musical communication, while also enhancing acoustical properties. 

I offer crystal augmentations for hammered dulcimers, guitars, mandolins, banjos, Native American flutes and more.

Besides being committed to uniting crystals and sound, my mission includes providing specialized musical instruments as an aid for endless holistic-healing modalities. 

I build monochords of various sizes, and design them  for ease of application to your healing practice.

I also build personalized, custom design hammered dulcimers as well as small beginner models, and Native American style flutes, predominantly with crystal totems; drone-style available.

Each instrument and augmentation includes a matching crystal (or hardwood) talisman to complement and connect you with the subtle vibrations of your instrument.
