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.

2800 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. It has no case yet.

1750 UK Pounds

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 attractive little instrument that came my way
and has been returned to playing condition.
The maker has used especially attractive wood.

300 UK Pounds

Payment must be in UK Pounds and I can accept PayPal.
