Welcome to the De Faoite Stringed Instrument website. My goals are to make instruments that look good, sound good and are a constant joy to play and look at. All instruments are hand made by myself here in Buckinghamshire, England from carefully selected woods. I make a wide range of instruments - guitars, guitar-bouzoukis & citterns, tenor guitars, harp guitars and acoustic lap slide guitars - from travel sized to baritones and include specialised instruments such as ladder braced guitars. My influences are very much European and my signature sound is big volume, projection, sustain and balance with complexities and overtones, and the player hearing the guitar to the full as their audience does. |
