More gear
for lessons

My main flamenco acoustic and the 11-string Glissentar do the heavy lifting on stage, alongside plenty of other instruments gathered over the years. Nearly all of it comes out at lessons — so you’ll get to hear, and often try, the real thing. Curious how it all sounds together? Take a look at my bands and activities.

Lessons, session work or a studio recording — tell me what you need and I’ll sort the details.
