About HORA:
With a
tradition of almost 60 years, a turnover of 5 million euros and about 300 workers, HORA is the biggest factory for bowed instruments and guitars in Europe.
The concern for the environment made HORA use more and more water based lacquers which suit even better not only the traditional instruments but also the guitars and even violins. The finish with this kind of lacquers produces open and powerful sound of the instrument.
The spruce and maple wood is from Romanian Carpathians Mountains seasoned naturally for 5-10 years. Exotic wood like mahogany, rosewood, ebony is also used.
In the last years, HORA has had more and more success with traditional ethnic instruments like mandolins, mandolas, Irish bouzoukis, cobzas, domras, balalaikas, hammer dulcimers, Appalachian dulcimers, psalteries, cimbaloms, panflutes. There are not many producers of such instruments at a professional standard and HORA found a good market niche for them.
The musical instruments produced by HORA are quality confirmed by ISO9001 certificates and comply with the demands of a very broad spectrum of customers. They provide support to beginners, are reliable for experienced players and give inspiration to virtuosos.
POSTAGE
I will post worldwide. As the Romanian Post has different prices, please ask for postage cost, for example a simple signed for postage will be 35- 55 USD for Europe and maximum 150USD  - for far islands and New Zeeland.
For example for USA and Canada shipping cost is around 50 USD.
The delivery time is shorter than it appears on Ebay by default, from my experience usually it is around 12-15 working days for USA and 8-10 working days for Europe. You will have a tracking number.

The instruments are sent in mint condition, wrapped in bubbles, with polystyrene plate top and bottom.
If item arrives damaged because of improper handling or it is lost I will NOT be made responsible unless the buyer will report this at the local post office and give me a registration number of the claim.
