“Ive played many hand-made instruments over the years, and
David and Nick's combination of construction and high
quality materials is among the best in the business. There's
also nothing that can touch their cello-mandolin in terms of
unique sound, depth and songwriting inspiration!"
Ian Cleverdon of The Huers
Welcome

customise any of our instruments to your requirements.
“It’s the instruments that write the songs”

has been working closely with his son Nick, who made his first instruments with David over 20 years ago.
Together they have been making and repairing top quality guitars and mandolins to our clients specifications.
Following David’s death in 2017 Nick is proud to continue the business and legacy in a way that his father
would approve. Nick operates from a workshops at his home and is happy to welcome you to discuss
