Introducing a new range of Giftware – English Pewterware

In keeping with our philosophy of our Hand-crafted in Europe for our instruments and made in Europe for our giftware, we are delighted to have found a new supplier to add to the fold.  We are now able to bring you a wide range of lapel pins and keys rings that reflect our instrument range and that have all been made here in England.

Key rings

We now offer a selection of English Pewter key rings including an acoustic guitar, bass guitar, cello, quaver, treble clef, and violin, all made in England.  The figures are between 2½ to 3” long (4½-5” including chain) or 6.5-7cm (11.5-12.7 with chain) and have a good weighty feel to them.  With a carabiner-style clip these stylish and functional key rings can also be used as bag charms on handbags or for personalising gig bags and instrument cases.

Pins

This lovely range of pins is hand-crafted in English Pewter here in England.  They measure between 1 and 1⅜” in length (3-3.5cm) and, with the exception of the treble clef, are all are double-pinned minimising the chance of losing them.  In addition to being a stylish lapel pin they can also be applied to bags and used to personalise gig bags.  Available are acoustic guitar, banjo, bass clef, bass guitar, cello, classical guitar, treble clef, and violin.

Welcome Hnos. Sanchis López

As followers of the website and our Facebook page are aware we have been seeking a reputable Spanish luthier with whom to work to supply Flamenco guitars for our range.  Well, we have certainly succeeded.  Hnos. Sanchis López was founded in 1915 by Ricardo Sanchis Nácher and is now run by his grandson and great-grandsons.  The current, fourth, generation of luthiers, David and Germán, have the benefit of all the experience and knowledge of Classical and Flamenco guitars that has been handed down through those generations of Valencian luthiers.

March 31st – Earth Hour

WWF’s Earth Hour is a deceptively simple idea that has turned into a global phenomenon; hundreds of millions of people turning off their lights for one hour, on the same night, all across the planet. It’s about appreciating the brilliant world we all share – and how we need to protect it. Not just for an hour a year, but every day.

Last year over 8 million people took part in the UK alone.  In addition to individuals, hundreds of major landmarks including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the iconic Piccadilly lights took part as well as small businesses such as Sandarac. And this year is set to be even bigger with landmarks across the world confirmed to join the big switch off, from the Sydney Opera House in Australia and Christ the Redeemer in Rio to the Empire State building in New York and the Eiffel Tower in France.

We would encourage you to join us and the millions of others around the world in switching off your lights for an hour at 8.30pm local time.  http://earthhour.wwf.org.uk/
