Cornetto, Dulcian, Shawm & Trumpet Player

Historical Wind Instrument Maker

Cornetto Making Course:


In 2015 I started designing a ‘build your own cornetto’ course with Andrew Hallock so that players can have the experience of making and playing their own instrument.


Our first course ran in June 2016 at Stapleford Granary in Cambridge as part of the Cambridge Woodwind Makers organisation.


The course runs over 4 days where you will start with a blank piece of wood, carve the bore, shape the outside, cut diamonds and cover with leather all using historical techniques.


We offer 440 & 466 instruments based on original instruments and altos, cornettini etc after my own designs.
