EIGHT COURSE RENAISSANCE LUTE
Made in 2000 by myself, this lute has returned to the workshop for a complete refurbishment. There was a small amount of damage to one of the bars, so the soundboard has been removed and replaced. It has new strings, gut frets and has been thoroughly cleaned. It is now for sale again as new.
String length 600mm. The 25 rib body is made of contrasting English cherry,
the pegs are plum and the fingerboard rosewood.
2650 UK Pounds with Kingham case.
PARLOUR GUITAR
A small steel string guitar
Built in the workshop by myself to my own design. It has mahogony back, sides and neck, rosewood fingerboard and Swiss pine soundboard. The truss rod is adjustable through the soundhole. Fitted with Ashworth under saddle pickup and tail piece jack socket. Strung with Martin phospher bronze light guage strings. Could be fitted with internal mic (extra) as the jack socket is stereo. String length 612mm.
2500 UK Pounds with Kingham (made to measure) case.
OCTAVE MANDOLA
Another instrument built by myself to my own design, this octave mandola has beautiful English walnut back, sides, and neck. The soundboard is Swiss pine and the fingerboard rosewood. String length 530mm.
1650 UK Pounds without case.
VIOLIN WITH BOW AND CASE
Made in Czechoslovakia in the middle of the 20th century, this violin has been well played but is still in very good condition. This is one of the violins with the mock Stradivarius lable sold by the London Violin Co. Both lables can be seen through the f-hole. The wood of the back (sycamore or maple) has a lovely figure. It has new Dominant strings and a new Aubert bridge. The sturdy, blue velvet lined case is a bit tired but servicable. A good instrument for a serious violin student of any age.
500 UK Pounds
3/4 SIZE VIOLIN WITH BOW AND CASE
An lovely little instrument that came my way
