WELCOME TO
Thanks for visiting the site,
I hope it will provide you with all the information you need.
If not an E-mail will get the gaps filled in for you.
I started making wooden flutes in 1994 and my interest rapidly expanded
to include wooden whistles, low whistles and recorders. My thirst for
information on woodwind instruments and their making led me to
Matthew Dart's evening classes at the London Furniture College
(now the London Guildhall University). Having had some 30 years
experience in mechanical engineering, my progress was rapid, and
very soon the new dicipline had completely taken over my life.
Today I make woodwinds of the flute family (Transverse flutes,
recorders, whistles and low
whistles) for customers all over the world. I make instruments
based on originals from as early as the 13th century, including my own
versions of the Gottingen recorder and Dordrecht recorder,
I also make flutes and recorders based on those from the Renaissance
period as well as my own designs of flute,
whistle,low whistle and recorder for use by todays traditional musicians.
Every instrument
and the tools necessary to make it are hand made by me and, apart
from the inevitable second hand market, the instruments
which appear on these pages are now only available
direct from me. This keeps the price down and the level of service
high. I consider myself fortunate to be able to earn a living from
a skill which I enjoy greatly and am privilaged to be able to call
the hundreds of people who play my instruments, friends.
