My approach involves a strong focus on hand tool use. With hand tools the feel is immediate, giving me a direct connection with the raw materials. By using planes, chisels, scrapers, and files for crucial shaping and joining I am able to closely monitor the musicality of the result. My design work is highly individualistic and creative.

Listing Info

from the Jupiter Creek Music web site

My aim is to build good sounding, playable and affordable instruments and effects for people to enjoy using and enhance their performances. My name is Rob Dick, and I’m Jupiter Creek Music. I’m a small volume builder of musical instruments working from my home workshop in the southern vales area of Adelaide, South Australia.

If can’t forgive the odd sanding mark or scratch, or the lustre of a hand sprayed finish, then please don’t buy a hand-made Jupiter Creek Music instrument. These minor blemishes and imperfections are your guarantee that this instrument was built in my home workshop in suburban South Australia. Choosing an instrument by Jupiter Creek Music gives you something different. A unique instrument made with care by one person for another, giving satisfaction to the maker and pride of exclusive ownership to the player.

NOTE: Each higher access level includes ALL the benefits of the lower levels. Private Lessons include all the benefits of a Premium Access Plans as long as you remain a student on the schedule.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!Peter Rhee
