Welcome

I make guitars, mandolin famiy instruments and viols and have over 30 years of experience in building, repairing and restoring stringed instruments.

Working largely with hand tools using traditional techniques and materials and well seasoned woods chosen for both their acoustic and aesthetic qualities, each instrument is carefully assembled as an individual project.
