I have been making stringed instruments for 50 years - mainly acoustic, electro-acoustic and solid body electric guitars. I also taught a guitar making course for 6th formers at Millfield School for 25 years and regularaly teach in my workshop in Glastonbury .

Design Award
My recently constructed 5 string electric cello won 1st prize in the National Design and Woodworker of the Year competition and is now on tour with Moulettes (featured on our Instruments page).

Handmade Guitars and Other Stringed Instruments
I continue to make various types of guitars as well as other stringed instruments, and have a range of guitars in stock to try out, both electric and acoustic. Recently I have researched and developed the making of a Swedish Nyckelharpa.

Guitar Repair and Maintenance
As part of my workshop activities, I also undertake a wide range of repairs, re-frets and customising of stringed instruments.
All work is fully guaranteed to the original owner.

Commissions
I undertake commissions with your own choice of hardwoods and hardware, and I hope to have a full discussion of your requirements. Commissions take around 3 months to complete.

Commissioning a bespoke instrument

I am often asked to make instruments other than the guitar family. These have included a cittern, a bowed guitar, two nyckelharpas and an Irish bouzouki.

I am happy to take on these projects and usually do not charge for research and development. I sometimes ask for a deposit to cover materials and the final payment always depends on the client’s full satisfaction.

As always, there is a full guarantee to cover materials and workmanship for the original owner.
