Stringed Instruments

I use mainly mahogany ( African or Sapelli) for my instruments with either Western red cedar or spruce for sounboards with mahogany for necks.

I tend to find these suit the instruments.

 

Other timber for backs and sides are available on request, however most will increase the cost of the instruments.

 

As with my whistles I like to keep fair prices whilst not compromising on quality and sound. 

 

I am in the process of putting up some sound clips of some of the imstruments.Stay tuned.
