I’ve just put the Top Twenty bass, that you might have seen
me restoring last year, up for sale on eBay here’s the listing.
I’ve had great fun playing it, but with my Phoenix bass now complete,
it’s time to pass it on.

Hi, I make mostly mandolins and guitars, entirely by myself and by hand. Although I’m based in the Norfolk Fens, my instruments can be found all over the world. I made my first guitar when I was 14 and during the 1970s studied luthiery at the prestigious London College of Furniture. I’ve been making them ever since!
