Acoustic Music Company
The Acoustic Music Company was established by Trevor Moyle in 2001. He set out to offer guitars and mandolins in the UK, mostly from the USA, that had previously not been available here. They now represent over thirty of the very best North American guitar and mandolin luthiers, some small workshops but mostly individual craftsmen, making ten to twenty instruments per year. They work closely with them, avoiding distributors (who add to costs and usually have no interest in or knowledge of instruments). This way they feel that they are part of the magic that is contemporary luthiery. And they can offer you the prices that you would get importing yourself (and a UK based warranty with no need to return instrument to the USA for warranty work at your cost) as well as the opportunity to try out a selection of incredible instruments before choosing the right one.
As well as a very wide selection of hand made guitars we have one of the biggest collections of mandolins available in the world today, from quality starter instruments to the work of world class luthiers such as Mike Kemnitzer (Nugget mandolins), Michael Heiden and Hans Brentrup. They specialise in these two areas and do not offer extensive ranges of accessories or any other instruments. (We do have some used instruments by the famous names that come in in part exchange.) They have an in house technician and a dedicated acoustically neutral playing room and will make tea or coffee for you. They represent over twenty of the very best North American guitar luthiers. Their guitars demonstrate why they are in the New Golden Age of Luthiery, the workmanship is impeccable, the tone has to be heard to be believed. These instruments are works of acoustic and aesthetic art, to be played and seen.
