Master Craftsman
Many years ago I started restoring old string instruments and shortly afterwards completed my first steel-string flat-top guitar by following the instructions in a book. This instrument sparked the beginning of my lutherie career and I still play it daily. Since then I have built many instruments, each one unique and crafted with care.
I have been a member of the Guild of American Luthiers (GAL) since 1998 and have had several articles published in the GAL Journal.
In 2000 I started the Guild of South African Luthiers to help raise the level of craftsmanship and the sound and quality of our instruments. I have given several workshops to luthiers and woodcraft guilds on the technique of French polishing.
In my travels, I always seize the opportunity to visit luthiers around the world and learn from these master craftsmen.
