Tourné á Gauche

Beautifully hand crafted tools to help make tuning lutes, violins, hurdy gurdies and other instruments with friction pegs a whole lot easier

Turned from domestic or exotic hardwoods, these beautiful little tools are a vital addition to the gigbag of anyone who has instruments with friction pegs.

They can either be made to order (a good idea if you have a particular design/wood/peg size you want) or drop me a line and see if I've got any in stock.

Come and Visit Me

If you’re interested in my instruments, the best thing to do is to arrange to drop by and meet me.

I’m based in the rural town of Buckfastleigh, Devon, in the south-west of England.

Buckfastleigh is easy to find, just off the A38 in between Newton Abbot and Totnes, and about 30 minutes drive away from Exeter or Plymouth.
