Have a look in the gallery to see what instruments are in the current
inventory. These may be at my shop or being shown by a dealer in Atlanta,
New York, Chicago, or Amhurst, Ma.
Call to find out the most convenient way you can try out a Foster
instrument.

If you have a specific instrument you would like used as a pattern, or
copied, call and let's talk about it.

For violins I have used several of the Stradivarius instruments for
patterns, as well as those of Guarnarius del Gesu and Stainer. They are
priced $8500.

For violas I have made instruments from 15-1/2" to 17-1/2" using the violas
of Gaspar da salo, Maggini, the Amatis, and Stradivarius. I am also using
the viola d'amour as a body pattern for violas of all sizes. They are priced
$9000.

I have used the cellos of Stradivarius, Goffriller, and Montagnana as models
for my instruments. They are $16,000.

I have made nearly a hundred viols da gamba and still make them on special
order. Basses, after Richard Meares and Barak Norman are $8500. Seven
string basses after Claude Pierray are $9000. Tenors are $6500. Trebles
are $5000.
