Here are some links to my suppliers, colleagues and family.Lowell Lavinger (Banana) is a dealer in vintage instruments and is selling my mandolins on consignment for me in the U.S.A. whenever I have one available (increasingly rare). Schertler are makers of what I think are the best sounding mandolin pickup in the world. Made in Switzerland. Gillian is my great friend and colleague. Some of the finest sounding hammered dulcimers in the world are made by Gillian, right here in my home town of Canberra. Gillian also makes high quality soft cases.
Doug and Dale are friends and colleagues of mine from Queensland. Doug makes guitars, mandolas, mandolins, etc.
Steven Gilchrist is the maker of some of the finest mandolins ever made. Here are a couple of pictures of a mandolin I have made by Gilchrist.
Graham is a stringed instrument maker from my home town of Canberra. Lawrence is a maker of fine guitars and mandolins. Terry is a maker of wooden flutes. Another instrument maker from Canberra. Peter is the maker of my button accordions. I have a 2 row in G/C and a new 3 row in Acc/D/G. Beautiful instruments that sound as good as they look Click on any picture for a more detailed look. Peter lives in Adelaide.
Bruce is a harp maker from Canberra.
Jack is a old friend way back from when I first started making mandolins.
Lewis Judy from Northwest Timbers, Oregan U.S.A. has some of the best looking U.S.A. Walnut and Maple I have ever seen. I visited in October 1999 and gasped at the timber he has in his shed when I wandered in. I left with a very much depleted credit card, but some beautiful mandolins will emerge from this timber. Bruce Harvie from Orcas Islan Tonewoods supplies me with Spruce topwood. Bruce's Spruce has found its way into some of my best sounding mandoline. I love Bruce's wood, he sure knows how to process tonewood. Randy Allen supplies me with pre-slotted Ebony fingerboards. Rany has a great fingerboard slotting service. Luthier from Perth Western Australia. |
