The Artisan's Craft

Where Timber Finds Its Voice

Enter the intimate workshop of Chris Wynne, where each instrument is born from hand-selected tonewoods and a dedication to acoustic perfection. A lifetime of lutherie, distilled into every bespoke creation.

The Maker's Path

Decades of Voicing and Craft

Chris Wynne's journey into lutherie began with an obsession for timber provenance and acoustic voicing. Each tonewood is hand-selected, aged for decades, then meticulously planed to unlock its inherent sonic potential. Every instrument resonates with unparalleled clarity and warmth.

The atelier is a sanctuary where traditional hand tools — chisels, Japanese planes, and natural oil lacquers — guide the process. This dedication to pure hand woodworking ensures no two instruments are alike, each a unique expression of maker and wood.
