We have moved from Irvine, California and are now living in Anacortes (pop. 18,000) in Washington State. Anacortes is 90 miles north of Seattle, 90 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia, and 2 hours by ferry from Anacortes to Victoria on Vancouver Island. Anacortes is on Fidalgo Island which is connected by a 1/4 mile bridge to the mainland.

We can arrange a Skype call to see certain instruments.

In addition to imported instruments, we also make and finish a small number of instruments here in California. We are authorized dealers of fine quality Kiwaya ukuleles. In California, Ron Fernandez refines the frets and sets-up each instrument to professional standards (see photoessay and 8 minute video on our set-up below). We specialize in quality fretted instruments for working musicians and devoted amateurs which are properly set-up to play easily and sound good. Established in 1985.

Fernandez Music was established in 1985 but my experience with Spanish luthiers extends back to 1965 when my father and I started to deal with guitarmakers from his homeland. Since the 1990's I have imported over 13,000 guitars and I have personally set-up the last 8,000 of them.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Since my birthday in October 2013 and I have been settling into a quasi "retirement". I have not slowed down but rather I have partially changed direction. I have stopped distributing to dealers. However, I continue to handle a small quantity of good instruments which I make, design, refurbish, set-up or French Polish and sell directly to individual players. The other part of my time is now spent on video projects dealing with music topics. Ron Fernandez
