About Me
With 30+ years experience as a musician, I am responsive to your needs as 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 work with reclaimed, sustainably-sourced and indigenous woods.
From the choice of timbers, through to a one-off custom model, I can guide you through the design process to make your ideas become reality.

How to Commission the Instrument You’ll Love
Once the specification is finalised and with your slot in my build schedule secured, I will advise you of the approximate completion date. When your instrument is completed I will inform you. Finished instruments are shipped fully insured via tracked courier service. Alternatively you are welcome to collect directly from the workshop in Hebden Bridge.
I am occasionally able to build on-spec instruments. To see what (if anything) is currently available, have a look.
