Having played and studied Classical Guitar from an early age the instrument has always been a part of my life. After attending the University of Calgary Music Department in Calgary, Alberta, Canada I turned my attention to concretizing, teaching and other guitar related pursuits including the study of romantic period guitars and their construction.
Since 1985 I have been building on a part time basis and marketing my instruments through word of mouth and my company Roseberry Guitars. Although largely self taught, in the mid 1980’s I attended building classes with Jose Romanillos in Cordoba Spain and worked with noted American luthier Richard Schneider until his death in 1997. He being a fervent proponent of the ultramodern concert guitar never fully understood my fascination with those “Ancient relics” but never-the-less was a dear friend and mentor.
Having just completed construction of a new large workshop, I am turning my attention to building Early Romantic guitars full time. I am always happy to discus guitars and to take on interesting projects. All are welcome to visit my shop and there is always an extra chair in which to sit, relax and breathe in the sweet comforting scents of guitars being built.
