Most of our gusle have a free space for an inscription or initials. This option is particularly suitable when you're looking for an original gift. The advantage is that you don't have to wait for the crafting of gusle.
Of course, you can choose from the available ones or request the crafting of a new bow for gusle according to your preferences. Crafting a new one will take some time, couple days for simple models and up to ten for complicated ones.

Delivery

No, we carefully pack gusle in styrofoam that matches their shape, which is then covered with cardboard to secure them from potential damage.
The delivery cost is not included in the product price and depends on the price list of the courier service which delivers it. If the website states that the product has free delivery in Montenegro, the delivery is at the expense of DOO THEM.
Yes, we provide delivery to all European countries, as well as the United States and Canada. The delivery cost depends on the country and is calculated according to the price list of the Montenegro Post (Pošta Crne Gore), whose services we use for international shipments. The delivery cost is based on the package's weight (the weight of the packaged gusle does not exceed 4 kg) and the value of the gusle. On the website of Pošta Crne Gore, within the online calculator, you can calculate how much the package delivery would cost in your case.
Note: In the case of exports, the customer does not pay VAT. It will be charged to him upon import into the country of which he is a resident.
Yes, products can be picked up in person at the address Bistrica bb, Mojkovac with prior agreement.

Gusle making process

Most of our models are made from maple wood. We also have gusle made from plum wood: https://www.gusle.me/proizvod_detalji/122, https://www.gusle.me/proizvod_detalji/145, https://www.gusle.me/proizvod_detalji/107 and alder wood: https://www.gusle.me/proizvod_detalji/136, which also produce a smooth and clear sound and have a distinctive color.
Yes, the buyer can choose the motifs, color, and inscriptions to personalize his gusle.
The price is determined by time required to craft the gusle. Gusle without woodcarvings and with fewer details require less labor, hence the price will be lower.
If you want to order gusle that are currently not available or custom-made gusle with motifs of your choice, the crafting time is approximately one month.

Repairs

Yes, we do. After assessing the condition of the gusle and determining if they can be repaired, we provide the owner with a deadline for when the repairs would be completed.
Due to the complexity of transporting old gusle (and the responsibility we take on), we have organized repair services into packages, and that is the only way you can use them.
Of course. In that case, we will replace the strings on the gusle and you can choose a new gusle bow on the page https://gusle.me/en/catalog/gusle-bow. We will try to match the color of the bow to the color of your gusle.
As part of gusle repairs, we also offer you the replacement of certain parts of the gusle, such as bridges.

Reparation process

We give a deadline of 2 to 3 weeks after taking over the gusle. In this way, we ensure the time necessary for your gusle to be safely transported to our workshop and back.
We use goat skin to replace the leather, nylon for the strings on the gusle, and horse hair on the gusle bow.
