I am excited to share an important update about the future of Red Valley! I have transitioned my focus to building, offering a wide line of mandolins, octaves, and bouzoukis that will be available on an individual basis.

What’s Changed?

  • Ready-to-Purchase Mandolins, Octaves, and Bouzoukis: Instruments will be added to the website as they’re completed, ready for you to purchase.

  • Moving Away from Custom Orders: After many wonderful years of fulfilling custom requests, I will no longer be accepting custom mandolin orders.

  • Traditional Storefront: Instead of a lengthy ordering process, instruments are available to purchase immediately through a traditional ‘shopping cart’ experience.


This new direction allows me to dedicate even more time to perfecting each instrument, ensuring that every Red Valley creation—from mandolins to bouzoukis—represents the highest level of craftsmanship, aesthetic, tonal quality and playability.
