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.

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.
