Hello and Welcome to my website. I build hancrafted stringed instruments. My instruments are scratch built, thus no two are identically the same. Each instrument has its own unique characteristics, personality and voice. I build mandolins, both A style and F style along with Appalachian mountain dulcimers. Once in a while I'll have a repaired fiddle or two. The time, effort and materials that I put into each instrument will never be found in any imported production model. I don't use any CNC duplicators in my construction. Every piece that goes into my instruments is hand carved. I can proudly say that every one of my instruments is Made In The U.S.A.
Handcrafted mandolins starting at $1800 U.S. dollars.
You can email me direct for inquiries on prices and availability on in stock instruments.
I entered an "A" and an "F" model mandolin in the 2008 Rush County Fair. The "F" came in First Place and my "A" model mandolin was the 2008 Champion.

If you're close to Rush County Indiana and would like to participate in a No Ego Jam, just let me know. And if you live far, far away and want something to play to, here's a tune for you. The Kentucky Waltz. Enjoy.

The Fourth Annual Midwest Mandolin Festival was held June 7, 2008 at the Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis, Indiana. This is an outstanding event that should be on everyone's calendar. Thanks to the Mandolin Society of Indianapolis for putting on such a great event. You can find more information on the Mandolin Society of Central Indiana's website.
