Paul Shippey

mandolin maker .......................................................................handmade in the UK

I build a range of Mandolin, Cittern and Bouzouki
models in my workshop in North Somerset, England.
I work as an individual luthier - from the selection of the wood to fitting the strings.
This way I can maintain the highest standards, drawing on over twenty years experience as a Luthier and player.

The Mandolin series features ;
Three Oval-hole models with Rosewood,
and Maple backs and sides.
A-style and F-style mandolins,
A Ten-string Mandolin, with its extended
range, offering players many new possibilities
and also a range of electric mandolins.

My Cittern, Octave mandolin and Bouzouki models
all have Indian Rosewood backs and sides and
European or Sitka spruce carved tops (archtop),
giving them superb projection and richness of tone.

I am always happy to answer any questions
regarding my work.
