About me

I studied guitar making with Norman Reed in Totnes/Devon and have been building various string instruments since 1996.

It is very important to me to pick the right pieces of wood and to help them develop their full potential. A comprehensive dialogue with the person who is supposed to play the instrument is also a vital part in creating the perfect instrument.
