Instruments

I’ve always been drawn to the Small Body Bouzouki (the SBB), and over the years it’s the one I’ve built by far the most of. It’s an incredibly versatile instrument with that characteristic traditional Irish Bouzouki sound, perfectly suited for sessions as well as melody and accompaniment.

I want to try and fully explore and develop this instrument to its full potential. That means building an instrument that first and foremost has balance, depth of character and tone, richness in the mid and bass range, clarity and separation in the trebles. As a session instrument it also needs projection, immediate response and the ability to cut through.
