I am a maker of traditional classical guitars with over 25 years making experience, providing a personal bespoke service for discerning guitarists.
My aim is to provide musical, well-balanced, expressive guitars with a wide tone-colour palette, a beautiful tone and clarity of projection.
I take inspiration for my fan-braced guitars from the great Spanish makers Antonio de Torres, Santos Hernandez, and the German maker Hermann Hauser. Other bracing designs, X- braced and Long-bar, which I sometimes use stem from other European guitar making traditions in 19th century France and England in the work of Etienne Laprevotte, who made violins as well as guitars, and the Roudhloff brothers, Dominique and Arnoud.
