Davidson Instruments
Phil
Davidson has been handcrafting fine instruments for twenty years, trading
as "Banjo Surgery" since 1988. After a successful career in mechanical engineering
he decided that his skills could be more satisfactorily utilised by making
a vocation of his hobby and "Banjo Surgery" was born.
The
skills gained in engineering have proved indispensible in the construction
of his widely acclaimed Banjo hardware, and Mandolin and Guitar tailpieces
made and nickel-plated in his own workshop.
Styles
Nine
models of Mandolin are offered, beginning with a Flat-Top which is superior
in tone, volume and sustain to anything within its price range.
Carved Mandolins in A, A5, A50, F4 and F5, top quality Tonewoods as standard. Five models each of Tenor Mandola, Octave Mandola, Bouzouki, Mandocello, Cittern, and Piccolo Mandolin.
Options
include: Birdseye or Quilted Maple, Lacewood plus all standard Tonewoods.
Custom colours and finishes and an infinite variety of Inlay choices give an unrivalled uniqueness to our range.
Workshop
Currently situated at Wick near Bath, the workshop is a converted piggery in very rural surroundings.
