“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
