Important News: I am currently in the process of moving house and building a new (bigger) workshop. As a result I am currently unable to take on any work. I expect things to be back to normal by the middle of 2023

Hi,

I’m an experienced luthier building, repairing and restoring all types of stringed instruments in Galloway, South West Scotland.

I learned my trade in the early 1980s under the master luthiers Stephen Barber and Roger Rose. In those days I concentrated on creating authentic replicas of lutes, viols and other renaissance and baroque instruments. Today I mostly make violins and mandolin family instruments, and offer a full range of repair and restoration services for all types of stringed instruments.
