Carbony Celtic Winds and Covid19
rob gandara
Greetings,
I hope everyone is staying safe during the pandemic. I wanted to give an update on how Carbony Celtic Winds is operating during this unique time.
We are open for business, but to minimize exposure we are no longer giving factory tours or in-person instrument demonstrations.
We have suspended traveling to festivals, games, and shows until further notice.
We are continuing to make and sell instruments through our website, amazon, our distributors and retailers.
I know many of you were hoping to see me this spring and summer. It is always nice to be able to try instruments before buying and the Carbony booth was the ideal place for making your decision. In light of this; we will be offering free shipping worldwide (promo code: FSHP) on all orders and initiating the 30-day return policy on the date the instrument arrives at your door instead of the purchase date. This provides you a no-risk opportunity to try the instrument as if you were at my booth at your local festival.
I also wanted to invite everyone to stay home and make videos of themselves playing their Carbony instrument. If you post a video on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/CarbonyCelticWinds you will be entered into a contest, the video with the most likes each week will win you a $100 voucher. Each Sunday evening, I will send out a message acknowledging all the entries and announcing a winner.
As far as myself, I am working on all the projects that I now have time for. If there is an instrument you would like to see out of carbon fiber, now is a great time to schedule custom work.
One of my most recent additions to the product line is a low D whistle that can be played with high-whistle hand technique. The hole spacing is equivalent to my mezzo line of whistles, no pipers grip necessary and I also have an adjustable thumb rest for it. https://carbony.com/product/carbony-big-bore-low-whistle-in-d-close/
Don’t hesitate to contact me about any of these topics or something entirely different. Take care of each other and keep playing. I recommend establishing a routine that includes music.
