Inspired by the design and construction of historical stringed instruments, I use traditional techniques in the crafting of highly individual hand built instruments. All are made to exacting quality standards with the finest materials.
I’m unable to accept new commissions at the current time but have a small range of instruments built over the last few years available for purchase.
