The bulk of my instrument sales are via the Baazar in Coronet. I also have a merchant friend that hosts them on a vendor. Alas, those come from factory crates. I brand them with my guild's name, so "a Nalagron {Twin Suns Entertainers}". With the holo-grinders in Coronet, I basically restock the baazar every day in Coronet (oh for more than 25 items!), so crafting them every morning got tedius. Instead, I have my bank in Coronet now and keep the crates in the bank so they don't take up precious inverntory during my day.
For hand-crafted instruments for friends and other situations, the name varies. Sometimes I put the person's name on the front "MyFriend's Nalagron", other times it will include something more specific to that person for the extra personalized touch. Depends on how well I know the person to come up with something suitable.

I've been out of the instrument crafting business for awhile, but when I did craft, they were all handmade and titled <original name> by Ahxi'lya Acoustics. I'd also include a nice description in the bazaar window explaining that they were all handmade from the finest materials with no two exactly alike. It also explained that special orders for custom names were available. Overall, everything sold pretty well with a few requests for special orders here and there.
If I ever do get back into it, I like the idea of doing special, limited edition runs and other fun immersion tactics.

An idea I sort of stole from Frag, since I play on his server...
I craft 3 types of instruments...Classic, Custom Shop and Custom Named.
And for the name...I name my things "Psystruments - Fizzz - Classic Series - #003" or whatever. It makes it kind of personal. And I've been told Frag's #01 LE Nal goes for a pretty penny. 
Ok, sorry about Amidala. I just wanted to use her.
