Excellent quality. The Certano le Carre has expanded my palette immensely and provides a welcome challenge and new voice to my musical education.

I ordered the Certano lapsteel. Shipping was fairly quick. The item packed immaculately. It came in a beautiful, nicely made gig back with my name in the tag window. Nice touch. The lapsteel itself is gorgeous! Very nicely made, clean lines and no frills. It's very workman like which is what I prefer. Inside the gig back it came with a nice quality slide bar and Allen wrenches for adjusting the benders. If you're looking for a well made, great sounding and functional lapsteel, I highly recommend this one. The only reason I gave it only 4 stars is that when I ordered it the website said my order was completed and that was it. I had to email David to ask about shipping details. His response was quick and we had great communication. I just feel that after a customer orders something they should be informed up front as to the shipping details right away. Just my opinion.

Hi...Well I had to pay duty and tax coming into Canada...but the Bender arrived early. I looked at some online instruction for installation and things went smoothly and I am very pleased at the craftsmanship of your product...I have been playing my Fender Esquire with the Bender installed every day and am surprised at the possible ways to use this item...takes a bit of learning but I really like your Bender and it looks great on my guitar. Thank you for your work refining and making It so easy to install and play...Rico Fama

Website design and navigation good. Good descriptions. Not much detail on the site about the pickup, though. Needs more demos of the steel. David was quick to respond to emails.

1995: I started playing guitar. 2000: I learned open open-D tuning. 2013: I learned about vst / digital instruments 2024: I purchased a Certano C.L.1 Truly one of the most inspiring and rewarding music purchases / acquisitions of my life. I'm just as happy when I'm playing this thing as I was as a stupid 13 y/o punk fumbling around my first guitar.

I have looked at other benders and was not impressed by their design and workmanship. My father was a machinist and when I opened the box I knew he would have been as pleased as I was ! Really Fine Workmanship! Nice smooth action and taper for the bends ! It is really fun to play!! Thanks! Great Job!

Great addition to a lap steel guitar — you can get some steel guitar tones! David has also been very responsive to all my queries!

Great craftsmanship. The Certano bender is very easy to install. I got the bender and the bridge set for my Recording King lap steel. I have no tuning problems when using these benders. I am very happy with the product.

David Certano, is a noted maestro with the guitar, and also a master luthier of his patented Lap Steel with benders. I had received his hand crafted Certano CL-1 from his shop in France to my home on Cape Cod USA in just 2 days. It is the BEST lap steel with all hand built quality parts. It is extremely resonant and remains in tune....a beautiful instrument that you will treasure playing onstage or in the recording studio.

Companies that do everything to perfection in terms of product design and quality, useable documentation, customer service and prompt delivery are very rare. Certano is an exception -- David Certano accomplishes all of these things and more. The fit and finish of the string Benders and roller bridge I received for a couple of lap steel guitars are – well, perfect! Kudos to an outstanding company -- Certano.
