I began working as a luthier in the early 2000s, starting with instrument setup and repairs at a local luthier’s workshop, initially on a part-time basis. Within a couple of years, the passion had firmly taken hold, compelling me to make the leap to a full-time luthier.
In 2011, I made the pivotal decision to establish my very own workshop in the scenic landscapes of Derbyshire, driven by an unwavering commitment to craft extraordinary instruments of my unique design.
Nestled amidst the lush countryside, each instrument undergoes meticulous construction, where I personally handpick materials for both their sonic qualities and aesthetic allure. My goal with every instrument I craft is to fuse the warmth of vintage instruments with a contemporary design sensibility, while carefully tending to every detail.
My ultimate mission is to grant these materials a voice that serves as an inspiration to musicians and captivates audiences alike. Whether it’s the creation of stock items, innovative prototypes, or bespoke instruments, my unwavering pursuit is excellence.
