Hi – My name is Stan, my wifes name is Glynnis, together we started making musical instruments about twenty five years ago .I concentrate mostly on stringed instruments, (Mandolins, Irish Bouzoukis, Ukuleles, etc.)While my wife looks after the smaller instruments (Drums, kalimbas, Xylophones, and Zithers)We like selling to musicians, but also to people who have never played an instrument before but always wanted to. So we concentrate on several easy play instruments, our shop motto is “Instruments made to be played” My main love is Celtic music, I have played in several Celtic bands playing Mandolin, Bouzouki, Whistle and flute. We have lived and operated in several parts of Canada, but for the last seven years have settled in the Okanagan Valley, a beautiful wine producing region in central British Columbia, I love making musical instruments (and music) and will continue for as long as I am able.

All Pura Guitars & other instruments are made in Saskatoon, Canada by luthier Darrell Pura. All instruments are hand built, one at a time, using only the highest quality woods and components. Darrell believes that by hand crafting every instrument himself from start to finish, each guitar becomes a high quality, unique piece of playable sculpture that the player and builder can take pride in. His personal touch goes into everything, from selecting wood to hand carving the neck and body, through to the final finishing details. Products:

While many luthiers began their craft as players wanting a better instrument than they could afford to buy, I came to lutherie from the wood supply side of the craft. I have spent my entire adult life involved in some aspect of the forestry and wood processing industries, working at various times as a timber cruiser and surveyor, logger, sawmill operator, and now as a luthier and tonewood dealer. The resources surrounding me, both natural and human, provide me with a living and a home. I am deeply committed to my local region and believe in “thinking globally while acting locally”. Here are some of the ways I try to implement that slogan. Part of the Canadian made bouzoukis directory. Products:

Ron Belanger has been a wood worker, both in carpentry and cabinet making for many years. He has completed a host of woodworking projects that include remodeling his homes, making furniture, crafting cabinets and building a cedar strip canoe. His interest in guitar making began with the desire for a fine instrument for his own musical pursuits. In 1998 with encouragement, advice and tips from friends like the master builder Grit Laskin, Ron began building his first guitar. His school was the workbench and his learning was supported by research both on the Internet (particularly the Musical Instrument Makers’ Forum) and master works such as “Guitar Making: Tradition and Technology” by William Cumpiano and Jonathon Natelson.
