French singer songwriter Julie Blasco sent us these two photos of herself with the Creedy she’s just acquired!
We made this back in 1998 for another French artist. Check out a video of Julie playing the Creedy on our YouTube channel and for more information about Julie go to https://www.blasco-official.com
Coincidentally we have a second 1998 vintage Brook featured this month – this Okement that we’ve just re-set the neck on.
David and Bryony called in for a set-up on David’s resonator we made in 2015.
Here’s the latest Lamorna for Project Music,
Check out the wild looking figured English walnut!
And this is the latest figured mahogany Lamorna for Coda.
Richard sent us this fine photo, taken whilst musing about the mysterious confluence of the Torridge and the Avon!
Pete from Yelverton ordered this Taw which will be ready for collection shortly.
It has another set of striking English walnut back and sides, a walnut neck and lace-wood binding,
Along with a few personalised inlays on the headstock.
Another vintage Brook here, this time a 1999 Torridge 015. Bernard, the owner, asked us to retro fit a sound-port in the ribs.
Bob bought this Lyn from Coda and brought it along for a free first set-up while visiting the area.
Steve has several fan fretted guitars of ours and we’ve just drawn up a quick plan of the latest for him with a slightly more extreme 640/678 mm scale, we’ve just started work on it.
Will Adams was spotted busking with his Lamorna in Weymouth.
Repair Shop: Disappointing to see a virtually new Martin in need of a neck reset so soon after leaving the factory.
We repaired this huge acoustic bass
And scale-wise, at the other extreme, we’ve been sympathetically renovating this uke and an Italian mandolin, coincidentally both were owned and played by the respective owner’s fathers!
All visitors to the workshop please beware of potholes, I took these photos along a short stretch of road on my way out here one morning recently.
Drive carefully!
