What's New
A New Look . . . . . . and Soundclips
The opening pages of the website have been reconfigured to provide more information about myself and my instruments, as well as much requested sound samples of some of the guitars shown. Early this summer, I met a fine local luthier, David Easser who, as well as being a very talented builder, is a heck of a guitar player. He generously offered to record clips of a couple of guitars. I recorded the others and, while definitely not the player David is, I hope they'll at least offer a small hint of what the guitars or capable of.

This 16" x 2 3/4" deep beauty has a Sadowsky feel, but it's all solid hand-carved wood. A lovely guitar to play.
