I call myself a luthier
rather
than a guitar maker because I make a wide range of instruments. I have
made guitars, harps, guitarones, dulcimers, mandolins, tiples,
psalteries,
violins, and things not yet named!
The Violin has captured my
attention
of late. I have made several, and am about to make another. I do not
yet
feel that I understand the form, which is not the case with the guitar.
While I have not made a
String
Bass, I have established myself as a purveyor of them, and keep a dozen
or so on hand at all times. I also do some repair, and have become
competent
at set up work, whether for Jazz, or Orchestra, or Bluegrass.
My
violin pages are at this site.
My
basses are at their own website.
