AtelierWicky

Let us talk about your project

Write to the workshop

Learning the craft, commissioning an instrument, asking something else entirely, writing from abroad: one form serves for all of it. I answer every message myself.

How a commission unfolds

First exchange
We talk about what you need, the repertoire you play, and the budget.
Outline, wood and setup
I propose the outline, the wood and the style of setup, according to the repertoire and your preferences.
Making
I build the instrument entirely by hand, and I keep you posted as it advances.
Delivery and trial
I hand you the instrument, I make the final adjustments, and you try it, at the workshop or from a distance.

One form for everything: commissioning an instrument, asking about the school, or simply talking

A question, or a commission in mind?

I usually reply within a few days. Enquiries from abroad, Switzerland, Russia and elsewhere, welcome.
