Unique Instruments ~ Handmade in Somerset

Creating unique handcrafted ukuleles and mandolins each with a tone and personality of its own.

Withywood Instruments

Handcrafted creations that add joy and creativity to your music!
Each instrument combines traditional techniques with a splash of imagination. No two are identical, with varying tonewoods or hardware etc - each has a voice & character of its own.

Ukuleles

A traditional design. The Birchmoor - with front, back & sides in the same tonewood. The Pillmoor - European Spruce front. Reentrant (GCEA) tuning.

Ukulele

A unique modern design. The Blakemoor - front, back & sides in the same tonewood. Contrasting fretboard. Internal passive piezo pickup as standard. Reentrant tuning - or low G tuning on tenor ukes only.

Mandolin

My flat-top celtic style design. The Athelney - Spruce front for plenty of volume and sustain. My own design, handmade tailpiece & bridge. Adjustable truss rod & internal passive piezo pickup.

Octave
Mandolin

Designed with the same features as the Athelney mandolin, the Westhay octave has a warmer tone and more volume. Tuned an octave lower than the mandolin.
