Steve Tilston latest album ‘Such Times’ has just been released on Riverboat Records, it’s a generous helping of fifteen fine songs and tunes and we heartily recommend it.
Steve used his Calder on all but one of the tracks!
We’ve just completed this rosewood Taw for our shop,
Here’s a close up of the Sitka spruce top.
Two here for Mak in Rathbone Place –
An English walnut and cedar Torridge and a bubinga and Engelmann spruce Taw.
Every year we post a photo of the snowdrops in the orchard so here’s this year’s array,
Along with a scattering of snow on the pond.
Woody Mann emailed recently – “I’m just getting in touch to let you know that the guitar you made for me way back is sounding great and is so comfortable to play. A different voice from my other instruments…I’ve been playing it a lot lately. Reminds me of my visit to your shop years ago.” Thanks Woody!
Here’s Andy grafting a strengthener across a tricky break on an Atkin headstock.
Anyone for a nice set of cocobolo?
And finally – a quick shot of some of the guitars we’ll be putting together and stringing up shortly.
