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 hobby luthier, specialising in biscuit tin guitars, mandolins and banjos.

"Biscuit tin guitars?"

They are properly usable acoustic instruments with a unique metallic (!) sound somewhere between a banjo and steel-bodied guitar. They are made to be played and are well suited to strong plectrum and strumming styles or slide guitar playing. The accuracy, intonation and playability are all just as you'd expect of a standard instrument.
