Welcome


“It’s the instruments that write the songs”  Steve Knightley, Show of Hands   



We are a small Westcountry family business, David started making instruments in the 1970’s and he has been working closely with his son Nick, who made his first instruments with David in the 1990s
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 workshop at his home in Newton Abbot, Devon and is happy to welcome you to discuss  your requirements and usually we will have a stock instruments that we are happy for  you to have a ‘strum’


  

"I've 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
