About Us

Tone. Style. Innovation.

I started building mandolins my senior year of high school as a result of a conversation with my Dad. I wanted a better instrument than I had and was ready to purchase one of the better imported ones when he suggested that I try building my own; A book by Roger Siminoff and some tools and wood came soon after that and a decade later here we are!

My mandolins are a product of my continuing passion for tone and an eye for detail, I choose the raw wood first with it’s resonance in mind trying to pick tops and backs that will complement each other and then I consider the aesthetics to please the eye. I build to a specific set of measurements and then carefully adjust the final stiffness with a process called Tap Tuning to get the best from each piece of wood.
