Instruments

Original

My original designs are the result of a clean sheet of paper with six strings on it, asking why, why not and what if. They are comfortable to hold, pleasing to see and easy to play. The sound is all that you need and hopefully more. There are several sizes and variations from a ¾ size tenor to a full throated baritone and several sizes of standard tuned guitars in steel string, nylon and hybrid strings. Possibilities abound.

Over the last 15 years I’ve done mainly custom work. This has left some of the ideas I’d like to pursue unexplored. Going forward I intend to build more instruments of my choice and have them for sale here.

Ukuleles

Ukes are fun. I build a very traditional tenor ukulele made entirely from local wood to a more modern approach to ukulele building with all the stops pulled out.

JFF (Just for fun)

Don’t take life, or yourself, too seriously. I don’t. These are just for fun but are serious instruments in their own right.
