Most of our kits are assembled in schools, camps, elder hostels, and similar group settings. We have deliberately designed and prepared the kits to be quickly and easily assembled by amateur builders using a few common tools.
You may mix and match to reach the totals. For example, an order for two banjos, two dulcimers, and two dulcimer kits qualifies for the 6 or more price on each of these items. Quantity-discounted orders will be packed in bulk with a single copy of assembly directions, unless you choose the Semi Bulk Shipping option explained below.
The prices below are available to institutions using purchase orders and to individuals buying multiple kits and paying with one check. If paying for a quantity discount order by charge card please add 3% to the total amount to cover our procesing expenses.
Our website shopping cart does not handle bulk orders at these discounted prices. To order 6 or more kits or instruments, send us an email message via the "Contact us" feature on the website, fax a purchase order to 860-423-6019 OR call us at 203-281-4515. If you reach our voice mail, please tell us when you would like to receive the order, the shipping address, your name, and telephone numbers where you can be reached during business hours and in the evening when we prefer to return calls. In the tables below:
-
Ready to play means instruments are painted/finished and strung and tuned. (You will need to retune before playing). Colors are barn red, teal green and blue. Barn red will be sent if no color is specified;
-
String it yourself means instruments are assembled, painted/finished, and accompanied by strings and instructions for putting these strings on the instrument;
-
Kit means pre-cut kits ready to assemble. These are prepainted only if you have ordered that extra service. The wooden parts of kits will need sanding and finishing with furniture oil, polyurethane or similar product. You will need to glue parts together using glue you provide (we use Elmer's white glue.)

Shipping charges for group orders (allow two weeks for delivery):
Shipping: $8 handling fee plus $24 per finished harp, $2 per banjo or dulcimer, and $2 each for any of the kits.
Semi-bulk packing, $1.50 per kit additional charge. Prices above are for bulk orders packed with only one copy of the assembly directions, and all parts in bulk. They are intended for workshops where all the kits will be built in one place, under the guidance of a leader. If multiple kits are ordered to be divided among individuals, we suggest Semi-Bulk packing. Semi-Bulk orders include individual parts bags and multiple copies of the assembly instructions.
