**Celtic Cross, made by Neil Russell, who started making instruments in 1981 as a hobby. He went on to make banjos, harps, mandolins, guitars, lutes and a number of different instruments but eventually specialised in instruments of the mandolin family. For the next fifteen years, he made dozens and dozens of Irish bouzoukis, octave mandolins and mandolins. By 1998-9 it became his full-time occupation. A chance meeting with musician Doug Cox got him building Weissenborn copy instruments, Doug's being the first. Now, twenty-five years later he's now set up his shop exclusively for slide instruments such as Konas, Hilos and Weissenborn style
