One-of-a-kind musical instruments, hand crafted in the West Yorkshire Pennine town of Hebden Bridge.

About me, Rob Collins, and the instruments.

I am a luthier specialising in ukuleles. My aim is to produce distinctively-styled instruments, providing an alternative to the standard "factory" designs. Through careful choice of materials, I am able to offer all the tone, playability and build quality of a professional player's instrument in a wide variety of woods, both traditional and unconventional.

 "Why tinguitar.com?"

This was my starting point as a semi professional luthier - as a builder of biscuit tin banjos, ukuleles, mandolins and guitars. From 1996 to 2010 I built approximately 100 such instruments.

 As I've gained in experience, I've progressed into building traditional wooden instruments to the point where I am one of only a tiny handful of full-time ukulele luthiers in the UK.
