The Federation of Guitar Societies

The Federation of Guitar Societies was formed to raise the profile of the guitar, and in particular stimulate interest amongst younger people. The current means to this end is by forming a network of existing societies to offer mutual support in the interest of promoting the classical guitar and related instruments, and providing a source of help and advice to enthusiasts.

Rathbone & Brown offer a selection of exquisitely crafted luthier built concert grade instruments at surprisingly affordable prices. All instruments are built in an artisan workshop headed by luthier Niu Lihua, a former understudy to world renowned master luthier Yulong Guo. Instruments from the master built model range use only the finest grades of tone woods that have been naturally seasoned for a minimum of 8 years to give superior tonal performance.

Guitar Repairs

I operate from a small workshop in Christchurch on the Dorset / Hampshire border, where I tackle most aspects of guitar and related instrument repair and restoration, from set-ups, re-frets to broken headstocks etc. I have repaired or worked on over 6000 instruments ranging from guitars, banjos, mandolins, lutes etc, to exotic instruments such as sitars, ouds, dilruba and many other strange oddities that have come through my door. I do build the occasional instrument (see galleries) but not to order: there are generally some of my own instruments or something under construction around the place, which may include a few hybrids. I offer a friendly personal service, and take as much care over your instrument as I would my own. Lee Norris
