Thank you for visiting. Here in Wiltshire, England, I have been a luthier since 1974.
I make lutes and guitars, restore older instruments and do repairs for local musicians.

Restorations
I have had the opportunity to work on musical instruments made in the 18th and 19th century. This webpage is a photographic record of some of those restorations. Above an early 19th century French guitar and English guittar dated 1757. |
