Fine hand made mandolins, mandolas, octave mandolins, tenor guitars, and guitars.  Made in Australia.

Hand made in Bega Australia from the finest native and imported woods.

Peter Coombe has been making mandolins and mandolas since 1994 and guitars since 2011. In total more than 300 instruments.  The instruments are all made in Peter's workshop in Bega and have been sold in Australia as well as exported to the USA and Europe.  Peter has been a strong advocate for use of Australian native woods in musical instruments and has published  articles on the use of Australian woods in mandolins.  One mandolin made almost entirely from Australian woods is in the Music Instrument Museum in Phoenix Arizona USA.   Currently he is making oval hole mandolins based on the Gibson oval hole mandolins which includes a special mandolin made from Australian woods, A5 mandolins, a Lyon and Healy reproduction mandolin, a pancake mandolin based on the Gibson Army Navy mandolins, and two mandolins of his own design, a flat top mandolin with a Lyon and Healy style C body, and a smaller bodied (than the Gibsons) oval hole mandolin.  In the mandolin family also is a mandola and octave mandolin.  In the guitar family Peter makes Tenor guitars, an OM guitar and a small short scale guitar.  Instruments can be specially ordered and made to the customers specifications, or bought ready made.  Mandolins or guitars currently for sale and available immediately are listed in the for sale section of this web site.

Peter can also do repairs on mandolins and guitars.
