Testimonials
“I have owned one of Robin’s cedar-topped classical guitars since the year 2001 and played it on most days since then. It is a combination of excellent craftsmanship and the almost mystical ability to produce beautiful and varied guitar sounds.
Apart from solo guitar playing, Robin’s guitar is a member of a guitar duo; a guitar trio; a guitar ensemble; a flute and guitar duo; a trio with flute and cello and is regularly asked to accompany local singers. All love the sound of this guitar. The same is true of the many people who have heard Robin’s guitar in the many private and public performances over the years. The legendary artist/craftsman William Morris (1834-1896) said there are two reasons to own anything - "the object should be beautiful and fulfil it’s function” - Robin’s guitars do this.”
