About
With 30+ years experience as a musician, I make instruments that are responsive to the needs of a player. My instruments are made to be played and they can be seen in the hands of professionals and enthusiasts around the world.
I make extensive use of hand tools and freehand techniques, blended with high precision where needed. In this way I am able to create instruments with the looks and tactile qualities of a craftsman-made object, combined with the precision and playability you demand as a musician.
I have large stocks of recycled and sustainably sourced timbers. The use of non-traditional materials and UK grown timbers has always been my speciality.
