Acoustic guitar can be a tricky instrument to record well, but since I got my David Antony Reid guitar - problem solved! It just seems to sit perfectly in the mix, without any of the lumpy, boomy tone I get with so many of the 'big name' acoustics. Martins, Gibsons, Guilds, I've had them all in my studio and this Reid guitar beats them all, hands down!

The new resident Luthier at Ivor Mairants

Building a new reputation. As of December 2008 I am now the new resident luthier at the highly reputable 'Ivor Mairants' store in London's west end. Together with the staff at the store we aim to build a great reputation for high quality repairs and set-ups. However, I am, of course, still taking on repairs in my own workshop as always.

Thank you to all of my customers in 2008 and a prosperous 2009 to everyone! I look forward to seeing old and new clients this coming year.
