Though most of my techniques and construction philosophy are rooted in the past, I do employ several “modern” techniques. During the initial selection of the top and back I use modern methods to collect data regarding the physical characteristics of the medium which guarantees that all of my material meet my exceptionally high standard and gives me some insight to how to maximize the sonic potential of each individual piece. I use a signal generator to observe the vibrations of the free plates (both unbraced and braced) and of the assembled instrument, thus helping me to determine if each element of the instrument is resonating at its fullest potential and allows me to make subtle changes toward that goal. The sound of a guitar can be described as the synergy between its vibrating parts so studying the vibrations and resonance of the instrument ensures that the instrument is reaching its fullest potential. Regardless of all of the technology and quantitative data, the final determination of the sound of the instrument is based on the choices I make using experience, energy, and intuition to guide my hands.
My attention to all of the small details in the instrument requires time and consequently I have a very limited yearly production. My instruments are a reflection of my passion and I am grateful to those who appreciate the fine and meticulous nature of the craft. Each instrument I build involves thoughtful design and an infinite capacity for taking artistic pains to achieve a true concert quality classical guitar worthy of discerning individuals.
Sincerely yours,
