I’ve been building stringed instruments in my 400-sqft shop, located just east of Renton, WA. In the cascade foothills since 2008. My goal is to build traditionally styled instruments in the mandolin family based on the Loar F5 & A5 original designs with the only the highest quality materials and hardware, utilizing innovative engineering & construction techniques for the professional musician. In addition to traditional designs, I’ve also built numerous custom stringed instruments ranging from Octave Mandolins (based on the Gibson L5 Guitar body style) to Acoustic Double Basses.
