Title
Peter Barton - Luthier - Classical Guitars - Steel string acoustic guitars
Description
In 1979 I moved from London up to West Yorkshire and started making guitars in my spare time. The desire to make musical instrument making my full time occupation was realised when I was offered a place at the musical instrument workshop at West Dean in Sussex.
Under the direction of Roger Rose I learned the traditional methods of instrument making to the highest standards. The workshop specialises in the making of early musical instruments, Baroque lutes, guitars, viols, violins, cellos and basses. The West Dean Workshops have a well deserved reputation for producing superb instruments and apprentices are expected to work to professional standards.
I am extremely grateful to Roger without whose tuition and guidance I would never have made it as a professional instrument maker. He not only taught me the essentials of how to sharpen tools and use glues and varnishes, but he also made me strive for perfection in my instrument making (I am still striving!).
